Topic: JOURNEYING WITH GOD'S PRESENCE – Part 2

Memorize: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me… Psalm 23:4

Scripture Reading: 1 Samuel 17:45-47.

"45 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. 46 This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. 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."

EXPOSITION:

The presence of God is the yearning and the pursuit of the men of old- men of faith. An example is king David. It was the presence of God in his life that brought him victory over Goliath. While Goliath was parading himself and celebrating his strength, skill, fame and experience in battle, David was celebrating his confidence and trust in the presence of God. David said, “Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. 46 This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand.” At the end, the strength and skill of Goliath failed him, but God's presence never fail David. When you seek and value God’s presence above all others on earth, you shall be highly rewarded with glory, honor and protection. Don’t forget that the devil is roaming about, roaring like a devouring lion seeking for whom to devour. 1 Peter 5:8. With God on your side, you too will say, Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me…

Prayer Point: * Lord, help me to value your presence more than all things on earth. 

Lord, don’t deny me your presence.
