Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered; let those also who hate Him flee before Him. As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; as wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God. But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God; yes, let them rejoice exceedingly. Psalm 68:1-3
Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered; let those also who hate Him flee before Him. As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; as wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God. But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God; yes, let them rejoice exceedingly. Psalm 68:1-3
A nine-foot behemoth stood before all of Israel and bellowed out curses, but they had no one to answer his challenge to fight. Every day, the giant's voice echoed through the land, sending fear through the ranks of Israel's army, and even though King Saul offered rewards, no one accepted.
Jesse's youngest, David, was sent to take provisions to his older brothers in the army of Israel. When he arrived, he heard the giant's challenge and immediately accepted Goliath's offer to fight! It was amazing that a scrawny kid with nothing but a sling would dare to fight with a giant trained from his youth and armed to the teeth, but David trusted God and was confident that he would prevail!
As they addressed each other in battle, David let a stone fly, and it hit the giant in the temple, and he fell to the ground like a huge tree. David quickly took Goliath's sword and cut off his head, and the Philistines fled in terror before all of Israel! Are you facing a Goliath in your life, a giant of a problem, a fearful diagnosis, or maybe a financial need? Then do this: Give it to your Covenant Partner, God, and trust Him to fight for you; and you will have victory, just like David!
Let Your enemies be scattered and let those who hate You flee before You.” Numbers 10:35
