Praise the Lord, my protector! He trains me for battle and prepares me for war. He is my protector and defender, my shelter and saviour, in whom I trust for safety. He subdues the nations under me. Lord, what are mortals, that you notice them; mere mortals, that you pay attention to them?
David was a man who lived to enjoy God’s presence. The hand of God upon his life began to arrange things in his favour with no efforts of his own. That mighty hand singled him out from his early days right there in his father’s house. When the Lord sent Samuel to the house of Jesse to anoiint a king over Israel when Saul failed, he was chosen by God ahead of his brethren. As he was anointed, the Spirit of God, who is the great teacher took over his and began to enable him operate in uncommon faith as well as to access divine strategies that kept him many steps ahead of the enemy. “Samuel took the olive oil and anointed David in front of his brothers. Immediately the Spirit of the Lord took control of David and was with him from that day on. Then Samuel returned to Ramah.” 1 Samuel 16:13..
The Spirit of God at work in the life of David was the reason he could face the bear and the lion out there in the wilderness and slay them. The Spirit gave him speed, strength and boldness to destroy these dangerous beasts, as if they were ordinary animals. Those experiences prepared him for his historic meeting with Gioliath, which became a turning point in his life. ““Your Majesty,” David said, “I take care of my father’s sheep. Whenever a lion or a bear carries off a lamb,. I go after it, attack it, and rescue the lamb. And if the lion or bear turns on me, I grab it by the throat and beat it to death. I have killed lions and bears, and I will do the same to this heathen Philistine, who has defied the army of the living God.”” 1 Samuel 17:34-36.
David never lost any battle in his lifetime because of the help he enjoyed from the Spirit of God at work in his life. At every point in time when he faced the enemy, there was corresponding directives as David enqiured from the Lord on how he should face the enemy. Every instructions he received from the Lord was key to the continuous victory he enjoyed. Today, we have to learn to depend on the strength and wisdom that comes from the presence of the almighty in every battles we engage in. No man following the leading of the Lord fails in life, no matter what the situation looks like. “From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.” Psalms 61:2-4 KJV.
Prayer :Thank you Father God for being my rock and my hiding place. I worship you for giving me your Spirit to be my guide through the journey and battles of life. Thank you because no man following you fails in life in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
