Topic: My
God Will Save Me
Text 1 Samuel
17:37
It is proper to recall what God did for us in
the past so that we can build our faith on that to face future challenges. This
is the imperative of testimonies in Christian gathering (see Revelation 12:11).
The Philistines used their champion and giant Goliath to challenge Israel, requesting
that they should present someone for a one on one contest with their giant (1
Samuel 17:23 – 24). He taunted Israel and defied the God of Israel.
Saul and all the Israeli army fled at that
challenge. It was sin that brought fear into their lives (compare Proverbs
28:1). However, David, a young man of less than 18 years of age according to
some commentators saw the challenge of Goliath as against God and not Israel.
That propelled him to fight. He told Saul and later Goliath that His God will
save him. He had that assurance and was fearless.
In our present world, we are faced with
challenges from spiritual and physical Goliaths who want to consume us. They
are in our families, offices, business arena, neighbourhood, market, schools,
etc. When they come challenging and making mockery of your faith and your God,
are you bold enough to stand against them or are you running like Saul and his
men (1 Sam. 17:11)? If you are afraid, then search your life to know if you are
standing in the Lord or not.
Just think about that great deliverance God
gave you before. He can still do something greater for you. He is still alive
(compare Hebrews 13:8). Trust Him to save you from those spiritual and physical
Goliaths challenging you in that marriage, home, school, office, neighbourhood,
etc. The Lord is with you.
Food for
Thought: God is
never tired of fighting our battles and delivering us from the plans of the
enemies
Memory
verse: Psalm
18:17
Prayer: Help me O Lord to trust in
you when the enemies rise against me.
