Is He in you?
1Sam.17:38-45, 1Jh. 4:4
When David was to go and take on Goliath in battle, King Saul clothed David with his armor and all of his war gear. David could not walk with what was put on him and he requested for all to be removed. He then went back to his staff, five smooth stones from the brook and his slings. He approached Goliath; Goliath disdained him; for he was only a youth, coming to fight him with sticks. 1Sam.17:43, so the Philistine (Goliath) said to David, ÒCome to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!Ó David was not afraid and GoliathÕs comment and size was not enough to cause doubt of what the LORD God can do. David had a testimony that kept him going and not looking back from the giant task, giant harassment, and the giant intimidator that happened to be on his way to where the LORD God of hosts was taking him. Is God taking you somewhere? Yes He has a destination for you and me. Just like David, God is taking us to promise land. In v.45 David responded Òyou come to me with a sword, with a spear and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defiled. David went with a weapon that is greater than the world, weapon that Goliath could not see with the physical eyes. He went with the word of God. Is the word in you? 1Jh.4:4 you are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. Is He in you? If He is in you, use Him and you will surely overcome just like David did.
