1 Samuel 17:45 (NKJV) 45 Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
David’s life was exemplary with regard to honoring God in everything he did.
Throughout his lifetime, he never strayed from God. Nor did he worship any gods other than the one, true God.
Yes, he sinned. He made some poor choices from time to time. But he always honored God and kept Him at the forefront of his life.
It was that quality in David that caused him to excel in everything he did for God.
He honored God at such a high level that he wouldn’t allow anyone to defy God or slander His name.
As David faced Goliath, take note of what he said; “I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied”.
And it was that faith in his God that carried him to victory in the face of odds that were not in his favor when viewed through natural eyes.
Children of God, we are at such a crossroads right now.
We are facing an enemy of massive proportions; a giant that appears undefeatable by natural standards.
That enemy is staring down at us, threatening to snuff us out and feed our flesh to the birds and the beasts, just as Goliath threatened to do to David
Who will we trust during this season of intense warfare?
Will we trust in man, or will we trust in our God?
This is a very important question that we need to seriously ponder and seek God on.
We are seldom forewarned of situations where we may need to make this choice. They come suddenly, so we need to be sure we are prepared for them at all times.
And the only way to do that is to stay close to God, 24 hours a day, 365 days per year.
Psalm 73:28 (NKJV) 28 But it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord God, That I may declare all Your works.
