FAITH CAPSULE: Let God know that you know Him.

1Samuel 17:31-37

The God that fought on behalf of David against Goliath is God that never fail. When waiting on God is truly based on the testimonies of His work and the manifestation of His promises, victory becomes certain. It is written about God, “For since the beginning of the world Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen any God besides You, who acts for the one who waits for Him.” (Isaiah 64:4) Knowing God is personal. One has to know God for who He is and what He can do. What is it that you do not know about Him? The work of God is more than enough and everywhere to thank Him. Psalmist declared, “We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks! For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near.” (Psalm 75:1) All we need to do is look around to know that He alone is God; He is unfailing and He is a mighty warrior. Knowing God personally will move one to do exploit for His glory where others are being removed unto shame. King Saul’s prayer, when David was to take on Goliath was short, and heaven answered on behalf of David. Before the prayer, King Saul had tried to persuade David not to go and confront Goliath. He explained to David that because he was a youth, he could not possibly take on a giant (not just a giant but a warrior giant). David, knowing what God had done in his life could not accept the King’s advice but maintained his ground of testimony. Has He done anything for you that lead you to believe He will not fail? If not, look at the things He created just by His Word and the revelation of His Lordship will cause you to trust in Him. David went further in pleading his case to go after Goliath, 1Samuel 17:36, “Your servant has killed both lion and bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, seeing he has defiled the armies of the living God. Moreover, David said, “The LORD who delivered me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” And Saul said to David, “Go, and the LORD be with you!”(1Samuel 17:37) David had a testimony and a confession of faith. Saul provoked the hand of God just by a Word of prayer and David became a winner. Do you have a testimony that you can meditate on? Just like David, let God know that you know Him. Let Him know the greatness of what He has done in your life and He will be provoked and will bring to pass your victory which is not yet sight.   

Prayer for today: Ask God for His hand that answered for David to answer against your Goliath.
