God's Champion

                                           1 Samuel 17: 47
                                   "For the battle is the Lord's"

        
        David did not wait until his enemy had crossed the valley, but ran to select the pebbles needed for his sling. Goliath made fun of, and taunted him. To this boasting and blaspheming, David stood that day for the name of Jehovah God, the God of Israel would assuredly take up the challenge, and vindicate His servant’s faith. Thus all Gentile nations would see that the God of Israel was a living reality, while Israel also would learn the too long forgotten lesson that Jehovah saveth not by sword nor spear.
        So confident was the Philistine that he did not even draw his sword or let down the visor of his helmet. One thrust of his heavy spear, he thought, was all that would be required. But in a moment later Goliath was lying helpless on the ground. And like this God’s champions, in every age, have gone out against giant wrongs, and this is why we may confidently over throw wickedness against our faith and the sins that claim supremacy over our lives.
        Amen!!
