This Day

So many times God has shown up and highlighted specific areas of hurt in my life. By His grace I've been able to work through pain, unforgiveness and break down walls that I allowed the enemy to construct in my heart.
Today was no exception. In 1 Samuel 17 verse 37 we read: 


"David said, The Lord Who delivered me out of the paw of the lion and out of the paw of the bear, He will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine." 


David was confident in God's strength and work in his life. In verse 46 he says, "This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will smite you and cut off your head. And I will give the corpses of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.
    47And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saves not with sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord's, and He will give you into our hands."


I am asking that God fight our battles this day, and help us to have the strength and confidence in the Lord that David had. Strength to face our battles and faith to believe that things will indeed turn out for our good.
