Standing in Victory~

Greetings,

“This day the Lord will deliver you into my hands, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head.  All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord’s, and He will give all of you into our hands.” (1 Samuel 17:46-47)

Last DEVO left us thinking about David’s courageous statement above, and praise God Almighty, that is exactly what happened. 

“As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him.  Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone, he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground. So David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him.”  (1 Samuel 17:48-50)

David met his nemesis head on.  He did not hesitate, retreat, or surrender.  Those are three “do nots” we should all apply to prayer.

When we do not hesitate to pray, do not retreat in prayer, do not surrender in supplication, our giants will fall.

More importantly, we will be left standing in victory!

PRAYER: Dear Lord, with You by our side, our enemies will fall and we will stand tall in victory.  Help us to have the courage to face every single one of our challenges and to never give up.  A famous author/preacher by the name of Mark Batterson said, “God is always stage right. He’s ready to make His grand entrance. All He is waiting for is your prayer cue.”  Here’s Your cue, Lord.  Enter in and help us!  In Jesus’ name, AMEN!
