Who do you trust? Trust in the name of God is more than enough to deliver in all challenging situation. The word stated, “Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.” (Psalm 20:7)
David with his small band of warriors trusted God to deliver the inhabitants of Keilah from the hands of the Philistines. 1Samuel 23:2 recorded, “Therefore David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go and attack these Philistines?” And the LORD said to David, “Go and attack the Philistines, and save Keilah.”” David trusted in God to inquire about his move. However, David’s men responded, “Look, we are afraid here in Judah, how much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?” (1 Samuel 23:3) The men of David could not trust God because they were afraid from where they were coming. David trust his God as a result, He dispel the fear of where he was coming not to terminate where he was going. In your challenging situation, expect your situation to change by trusting God. Seek God for confirmation; He is a God of confirmation over every challenging situation of life. David trusted God to confirm from God when he, “…inquired of the LORD once again. And the LORD answered him and said, “Arise, go down to Keilah, for I will deliver the Philistines into your hand.”” (1 Samuel 23:4) With trust in God, God will speak to quell fear and eliminate doubt. David trusted God and disallowed the doubt and fear of his small band of warriors from intercepting his agenda. When you hear from God, there will be answer for challenging situation. With your trust in the Lord for your agenda, let the world around you say no; but you will say yes. With trust on God, David went forward and delivered the inhabitants of Keilah. It is all about placing trust in the Lord.
