Life's Tough Choices

'David said to the Philistine: “You come
against me with a dagger, spear, and
sword, but I come against you in the
name of Yahweh of Hosts, the God of
Israel’s armies — you have defied Him. '
1 Samuel 17:45 https://my.bible.com/bible/72/1SA.17.45


Life is so tough. Yes, I am blessed and have been given more, much more, than I deserve. I am not sure we really understand the grace we are granted every single day. But, this world is falling further and further from the Lord. On a broad scale, the LIFE GOD HAS DESIGNED is under attack. The clear line of right and wrong is being erased every day. We are living in a time when the Bible is under attack and anyone that follows its clear principles are also under attack.

It would be so easy to crawl under a rock and hide. It would be easier to isolate ourselves from the growing sinfulness all around us. OR we can attack!

David saw his nation under attack. But, he did not see a dagger, a sword, a spear, or a behemoth of a man. He only saw the attack on the Lord. He knew the power of his God and knew there was nothing impossible for him as long as he followed the guidance of the Lord.

I can not even imagine facing Golliath. I can not imagine facing such a formidable foe with such power and grace. David had such confidence and power, not of his own strength, but of the power of God!

We need to face this world with the same power. We need to have the same confidence in the power of a God that sent his son to save us. We need to attack the enemy with our sling and stones, realizing our REAL WEAPON IS THE ONE AND ONLY GOD!.  There is nothing in life that can defeat you. There is nothing in life that will defeat you. As a follower of Jesus Christ, dedicated to him, you have already won the battle. VICTORY IS THE LORD's.  Praise God he loves us so much that we can live life in PEACE every day.
