STRENGTHEN OUR FAITH AND HELP US WITH OUR UNBELIEFS

1 Samuel 17:41 Meanwhile, the Philistine, with his shield-bearer in front of him, kept coming closer to David. 42 He looked David over and saw that he was little more than a boy, glowing with health and handsome, and he despised him. 43 He said to David, “Am I a dog, that you come at me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. 44 “Come here,” he said, “and I’ll give your flesh to the birds and the wild animals!”  45 David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 46 This day the Lord will deliver you into my hands, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head. This very day I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel.

By faith, Believers overcome the world, the flesh, and the devil.  It is by faith that we are shielded from the fiery arrows of the enemies.  It is by faith that the flesh is kept under control and our carnal desires are subdued.  It was David faith in God that gave Him the courage to stand up against and defeat Goliath.

Father, Your doctrine tells us that Christ died to save Your people, from sin through faith in Him; let us receive Your Spirit Lord so it will strengthen our faith.  Lord, come into our hearts and minds so we may develop fruit and Christ-like character.  Father, forgive us for our doubts and fears, please give us Your courage to stand on Your Word and not wavier.  Father, we are your broken people saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ our Lord, and Savior.  Lord, thank You for the guarding Angles that protect us from the fiery arrows of our enemies; and let their plots of evil catch them in their own snares.  Lord, keep us humble, give patience, fill our hearts with love, let us be kind and gentle to the least.  Father, rescue those that are drowning in the storms of despair; let them feel Your presence, that gives comfort, peace and Hope, In Jesus name Amen
