Run To The Battle

1 Samuel 17:48

48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came, and drew nigh to meet David, that David hastened, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.

We all focus on the fact that Goliath fell to David, but we never talk about the fact that David ran to meet him in battle. David had no experience fighting a war. He didn’t have a sword or spear. All he had was the tools of a sheppard and the faith that God had his back, and that was all he needed. When the whole Israelite army hid, David went to battle. He didn’t hide in the rocks and tell God he needed him to get rid of the enemy. He let God use him to take down a giant. Stop hiding and asking God to fight your battles for you. Instead, get up and run toward the enemy, having faith that the one in you is greater than the battle you are facing. It does not matter if you are facing an army of Goliaths, God can still guide you through. Jesus conquered the hardest battles for us. Death, hell, and the grave have been defeated. He is still there helping us through our daily battles. However, if you hide in the rocks like the Israelites, then the enemy will just set there and mock you. But if you raise up, take up the weapons God has armed you with, and run toward the battle, Satan has to give up, because he knows our Jesus has already beaten him time and time again.
