What promises of God do you pray during your battles?
Perceive: David’s power as king and warrior continues to grow. After his military victories, he takes control of the cities and the land, thereby expanding his kingdom. At one point, he had peaceful relations with Moab, but at this point in his story, he puts to death a significant number of people. Tradition holds that he reacted to the killing of his aging parents. He further conquers Rehob of Zobah and the Arameans which give him ongoing taxes. Furthermore, he acquires horses for chariots, gold for more wealth, bronze for metal work and shields. No doubt the metal could be used for increasing weapons for warfare and materials for working the land. Throughout all his expansion campaigns, the Lord helps him wherever he goes.
Practice: Part of God’s covenant with David included the promise that the Israelites enemies would be defeated if the nation stayed on course. God helped David defeat Israel’s enemies, and He will help us with our battles as well. One way is to seek His power and presence daily. We all have battles, and we all need to feel God is with us in the things we face.
Pray: O Lord, my God, fill me with Your presence today and help me with my battle of ____________________________.
