Then all this assembly shall know that the Lord does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord’s and He will give you into our hands. 1 Samuel 17:47

 

Today’s scripture comes from the story of David and Goliath. Just before the two engaged in a fight, David told the Philistine that his victory over him would not come by modern-day weapons, but by the power of God and the battle was in God’s hands. Of course, we know what happened, David slung a rock, striking Goliath and knocking him to the ground and killed him.

 

We all face battles in life and some battles appear to have victory over us. But, as a child of God, you were never meant to face the enemy alone. Your personal strength and resources are not enough to battle satan (Ephesians 6:12). The only way to fight the daily burdens of life is to seek after the Lord and allow His plan to prevail. His plan is always best and He will win every battle on your behalf when you release it into His hands through prayer and faith. Sometimes God’s way of handling things may not turn out as planned, but it has purpose and your faith in Him should never waiver.

 

What battles are you facing today? Release them into the hands of the living God and let Him author your battle plan. He has the resources, wisdom and most of all, your best interest at heart. Trust Him as you go off battle through another day! God bless!
