Psalm 118:5,6
I called upon the Lord in distress: the Lord answered me, and set me in a large place. The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?
God is on the side of those who will trust in Him. When we find ourselves up against insurmountable odds, we can take comfort in knowing that God is with us. When David faced Goliath, David came in the name of the Lord, his confidence was secured in knowing that the God he served was with Him. The Lord was with David when he flung the stone. God directed the stone to the head of Goliath, destroying the enemy that dared to come against the God of Israel. The spiritual application we can gather from David’s determination is to trust God that He is in control of the things that happen in our lives, we don’t have to fret or fear our circumstances. The enemy of our soul is out to destroy us and cause us to doubt God’s love and care. He is the one that we fight against. “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” (Eph 6;12) Satan will often work through others, but our real enemy is the devil. We cannot stand up against Satan on our own power. We need to call upon the Lord, and He will come to our side and deliver us from our enemy.
