Pure Glory

by Hazel Straub

Self pity wants us to think that we are alone and are victims. Our Lord Jesus whispers that he gives us battles, to win victories. Often we respond in frightened terror, like the Israelites, when threatened by the giants.  Instead, when we know we belong to the God of Angel Armies, we can respond like David. He declared that he had killed the lion and the bear, when they threatened his sheep and Goliath would like them because he defied Yahweh. David worshipped, as he went to battle, in the name and strength of Yahweh the God of Angel Armies, not with the latest military weapons. Goliath filled with pride, thought his physical size and weapons would give him the victory. Yahweh accompanied David, and gave him the victory, with a slingshot and a smooth stone. Then it was the enemy army who ran in terror, when they saw their champion dead.

Remember, the bigger the enemy and giant, the harder they will fall, to their destruction. Battles give us victory, when we trust in Yahweh, the God of Angel Armies, who fights for us.

For even if we do walk in the flesh, on the other hand, we do not wage war according to the flesh. The weapons of our warfare are not according to the flesh, but of the power of God, and by it we subdue rebellious fortresses, and we pull down reasonings and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and we take all minds prisoner to the obedience of The Messiah. (2 Corinthians 10:3-5 ABPE)
