The Unmatched Battle

There is a battle going on today in the hearts of mankind, in our country, and in Christianity! There is an enemy that looms larger than life as we face the future. Today we consider an “Unmatched Battle” that occurred in the Old Testament. There was much warfare as Israel faced the nations that were against God Jahovah! There was battle after battle, it seems that way today that warfare is present, it is one difficulty after another and God is in the Life of a Christian to prove their love and Faithfulness to Him. It may not be a huge battle in your life or it may be gigantic hardship that you face, but it is an unmatched battle if you are a believer in the Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ! The enemy may think he is a “champion” in this hour in which we live, however large he may seem, God is greater! Our first response to an attack of the enemy/satan is to do what the King did to David, He tried to put on the amour of the day to protect David. The world’s way will never conquer, what we need is the Amour of God! It may look like we are in an “unmatched” battle. We must not be like King Saul and respond with “dismay and great fear!” Let us be reminded of David’s first response as He faced the giant/enemy! “Who is this Philistine/enemy that he should defy the armies of the Living God!” Imagine a small young lad standing in the shadow of a 13 foot + man. Sometimes our enemy seems so much bigger than we can even imagine, and we seem so “unmatched” for devils work against us. This is until we get on the Amour of God, rest in His Peace and use the weapons that are not carnal! Again we hear the positive voice of David; “Let no man’s heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight!” In these battles that we face, let us use the weapon of David’s choice – the Rock of our Salvation: 2 Sam 22:3-4 — The God of my Rock; in Him will I Trust: He is my Shield, and the Strength of my Salvation, my High Tower, and my Refuge, my Saviour; Thou savest me from violence. I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be Praised: so shall I be Saved from mine enemies!” – Let us remember God knows those that Trust in Him! O Church Praise and Praise and Praise our Deliverer! Loving you, Pastor
