Day 172 - King David's Secrets of Victory
Read: Psalm 130; Proverbs 5:4-6; 2 Peter 2; 1 Samuel 16-17
1 Samuel 17 is the account of the famous story of David and Goliath. Upon analysing the passage, it is interesting to note how David's daily walk with God helped him in this battle against Goliath. He has been trusting God. God has been his help and shield even in his daily mundane chores of attending to the sheep (v34). David was concerned about God's Name as Goliath kept defying the armies of the living God. He was not concern about his own fame or even safety (v36). Further, David drew faith from his past experiences with God where he reasoned out that if God could rescued him from the paw of the lions and bears, God would surely rescue him from the hand of the Philistines. (v37). David fought in the name of the Lord Almighty (v45). David's intention was for God's glory that the whole world would know that there's a God in Israel, which is true enough as the story of David vs Goliath has been told and known up until today (v46). David recognised that the battle belonged to the Lord and he was only a mere vessel to be used by God. What a humble servant of God! (v47). May we learn these secrets and put to practice so that we may overcome the "goliath" in our lives and live victoriously, shining forth for our beloved Lord Jesus. Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:57). Amen. https://twitter.com/EstherOngHC #Victory #VictoryLiving #Devotion #DavidAndGoliath #SecretsOfVictory
