Psalm 33:4 “For the word of the LORD holds true, and we can trust everything he does.”

Proven Weaponry—Let God Fight Your Battles!

When David met up with the giant Goliath, who was trying to destroy the children of Israel, David called him an uncircumcised Philistine. In other words, David knew he had a covenant with God, and David knew Goliath didn’t have a covenant. (The Devil doesn’t have a covenant with God either and that gives you the definite advantage over him.) David made up his mind that he was going to face Goliath. King Saul tried to give David his armor to wear, but David wouldn’t wear it because he had not proven it. READ 1 Samuel 17:38-40 In trying to obtain weight loss, we’ve been using unproven armor or weaponry. In the heat of life’s battles is not time to reach for unproven weaponry. Someone once said, “But isn’t the Word of God proven?” YES! But it could be unproven in your life. Certainly, the Word of God is tried and true and can be depended on. But what have you been doing with the Word? Is the Word in you? Is it real to you? Are God’s words Spirit and Life to you? (John 6:63) Do you use them in battle or are they merely words to you? Saul had given David his armor, but David wouldn’t use it because he hadn’t had a chance to prove it. Instead, he went to the brook and got five smooth stones. (He really only needed one because God was in that one stone!) We need to use proven weaponry—the Word of God—hidden in our heart. When life’s battles come (including finances, temptations, desires of the flesh, a lost loved one, and sickness and disease) it will be proven. (Your Wealthy Place, by Dr. Leroy Thompson, Sr.) YOU ARE WONDERFULLY MADE!
