1 SAMUEL 17:38-51
God’s own program for the ages calls for the complete subjugation of all enemies. “Then cometh
the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have
put down all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under
his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. For he hath put all things under his feet”
(1 Cor. 15:24-27).
When Goliath died, the Philistine army began to run in terror, and the people of Israel followed
them to take the spoils. This is always true. Wherever the faithful servant or servants of God carry
through some project to victory, the unbelieving and faithless crowd will always come in, seeking
what it considers its share.
That same crowd may have held back the victory for a time through envy and jealousy, but as soon
as the victory is won, they want to climb on the bandwagon.
May God give us grace to believe Him and, through faith, not to be defeated Christians but
victorious children of the living God. May God stir our hearts so that we will not be ashamed of
Jesus Christ our Lord.
What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee (Ps. 56:3).
