Winning with no weapon

And everyone here will see that the Lord does not need swords or spears to save His people. He is victorious in battle, and He will put all of you in our power. This verse is found in 1 Samuel 17:47. These are the words of David before he battles the giant Goliath. The whole story ended the same way—with no weapon, Goliath was brought down . (So David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him. )

No matter what giant we face today, may we have the attitude of David, because it is not our battle; it belongs to the Lord. Our God is the one who is always victorious. From ages past, God has always rescued and saved His people.

1 Samuel 18:16 says, "But everyone in Israel and Judah loved David because he was such a successful leader." Not only is our God always victorious, but He also makes us successful leaders. Recently, with the result of the presidential elections in the USA, we can see how people celebrate their new leader—a successful one (though he has his own faults). The Lord made him victorious and loved by the people.

Victory in battles and success in leadership come from God. Now, when everything tries to overpower us or battles against us, we should have the attitude of David and conquer it.

Dear God, may we be Your successful leaders. You are the Lord who is always victorious. Help us to win our battles just as You helped David when he had no weapon in hand. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
