All off us are unsure and uneasy in life. If we weren't there would be no need for blood pressure medicine. If we weren't we'd all be confident in our abilities. Yet, because of our sinful minds, Satan tempts us to be unsure and to forget that our whole being, soul, mind, and body completely relies on God to begin with. When he is successful we begin to worry and be frightened about things going on in life. We are afraid of that person who is against us. We are afraid that we will fail. We are afraid of what people will think of us.
In those times of uncertainty and fear, we can be reminded of this story of David here. David was so sure that God would give him success that he went right up to the 9 foot tall giant and told him he would cut off his head and feed his carcass to the wild animals. He knew the power of God and he was sure of it.
Brothers and sisters, we need not be afraid! We need not be unsure! No, let me change that a bit. We can be unsure of ourselves all day, because we will fail. On our own we can do nothing good. Yet, because God loves us, he sent his Son, Jesus for us. he has already conquered death. He keeps his promises! He has already done it! Of this you can be sure! Have the confidence of David today and go up to Satan and tell him, "You come at me with temptations and trials and struggles, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and he has the victory over you! He has already cut off your head.
Prayer: Lord God, thank you for giving me your name to go against evil so that I may win. Help me to fight against evil in my own life and in the life of others today so they may know your name and your love. Amen.
