RUN TOWARD

1 Samuel 17:47 & 48
"47 And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD's, and he will give you into our hands.
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." 

"that ALL THE EARTH MAY KNOW that there is a God in Israel." And the world knows. This is one of the most famous events recorded in the Holy Bible. AND! It echos the King of Kings defeat of sin, death and the giant Satan at the cross! That all the earth will know that Jesus is our Lord and Savior! We will all share in this victory as we return to our heavenly home.

Listen to young David's words to Goliath, in today's verses; "And ALL this assembly SHALL KNOW that the LORD saveth NOT with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD's, and he will give you into our hands." The Holy Ghost is inspiring David to speak of heavenly truth beyond his own knowledge. He will defeat this giant because the LORD planned for it.

Courageously David runs into battle; "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." NO ONE in Israel dared take on GOLIATH. They were all VERY AFRAID. David runs forward to meet this monster in battle and will remind everyone about the power of God! 

Not every adversary in our life is a GOLIATH. Even some of our GIANT challenges are just obstacles to overcome. And, some of our challenges that are also enemies of GOD; they are GOLIATH'S that GOD will help us defeat. Don't fear the ones that defy GOD. Be confident in God and His assurance to help His people. He will help us now and into eternity!

There are many forces in our world today that defy GOD. Many of them demand that we obey them. The time is now for good Christians hasten and RUN TOWARD
the challenges ahead of us. Follow this link to listen to an outstanding podcast about how churches can respond to our government WHEN they make demands of us AGAIN.

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.

God’s patience

2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." God did not immediately punish King Solomon when he allowed his foreign wives to build altars for false gods. Despite multiple compromises, God remained patient. Over time, Solomon’s endorsement of idolatry defied God’s covenant, leading to divine judgment, including the loss of the kingdom for his son. Some mistake God’s patience for indifference or inaction, but He follows His plan in His timing. If our nation, culture, church, or we ourselves stray like Solomon, we can repent and return to God’s path. And, should do so sooner than later! Amen!

we also...

Romans 6:3&4 "3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." In our studies we are striving to understand God’s love and care. God's unconditional love for His followers, appreciating that we are part of GOD’S family! God is with us from cradle to grave. His divine presence is always giving us purpose and guidance. One of the most important milestones in the life of a Christian is baptism. When we are baptized, an indelible mark is made on our soul. This mark signifies a permanent transformation and dedication of the individual to God. The act of Baptism involves water and the invocation of the Holy Trinity. This ritual is seen as a symbolic washing away of original sin and a new birth into the life of Christ. Baptism is a foundational s...
