The battle is the LORD’s..!!

Let’s read 1 Samuel 17: 45

“.....You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty.......”

17^th chapter of 1 Samuel describes the ever-famous battle between someone who was “little more than a boy” and someone who was “9 feet 9 inches in height”. 

David was just a “shepherd boy” but Goliath had been “a warrior from his youth”. 

David was sent to the battle scene as a “food delivery boy” but Goliath came for the battle fully trained/prepared & experienced.

David probably weighed less than even the “bronze coat of scale armor” worn by Goliath, which weighed about 58 Kgs.

All that David took to face the giant were his staff, 5 smooth stones, a sling and a shepherd’s bag. On the contrary Goliath was in his full army gear. His shield was so heavy that he needed to have a shield-bearer carry it for him.

Goliath wanted to fight against a “man” for honour, self-pride and vicious victory, David wanted to fight against a “force” that defied the armies of the living God.

Goliath came against David with sword and spear and javelin, but David came against Goliath in the name of the Lord Almighty.

David slung a small stone and struck the Philistine on the forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground. It wasn’t the SMALL STONE that gave him the victory. It was the SOLID ROCK (name of the Lord Almighty) on which David firmly stood, that made him more than a conqueror..!

You will boldly say –“He who is in me is greater than he who is in the world” (1 John 4:4) if you firmly stand on the “SOLID ROCK” called JESUS CHRIST..!

“You enemy may look UNBEATABLE....but your God is ALL-POWERFUL...!”
