SAMUEL 17:34-37
Our God is
awesome. He is the Almighty , the One who has all the power in heaven, on earth
and beneath the earth. There is nothing too difficult for him to do or undo. If
you know God well enough, you will understand why it is easy for him to do what
he says he will do. In life’s journey, we find a recurrence of similar events.
Although their configuration may be slightly different, their essence is the
same. For instance, the children of Israel were confronted with death and
destruction by invading enemies. This happened over and over again. Sometimes
the same enemies resurfaced at a later date. At other times it was a new enemy.
God gave them victory again and again; in fact, each victory became an assurance for the next. But whenever the children of Israel forgot their past, they quaked before their enemies and sometimes were defeated. This was due to forgetting the secret of their victory the previous time they had been attacked. David faced death when he was attacked by the lion and a bear respectively. Each time, he trusted in God and God gave him victory. When he was to face death again through Goliath, in 1 Samuel 17:37: “Moreover David said, ‘The LORD, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from, from the hand of this Philistine.’”
God, true to David’s words, gave him victory over Goliath. It is the same with us today. Anything God has done before; he can do again, irrespective of its configuration. God divided the Red Sea for Israel to pass, under the leadership of Moses on their way out from Egypt. Later, under Joshua, God parted the river Jordan before Israel. Much later in 2 Kings 2:7-14, Elijah and Elisha parted the river Jordan with God’s anointing on them. God asked Joshua to erect 12 stones as a memorial to the miracle he did for them, for the remembrance of future generations (Joshua 4:8-9).
If God has healed you before of a headache, he can heal you again of any other ailment. If he has delivered you from one enemy, he can deliver you from many enemies. Anything he has done before in his Word, and in our time for anyone else, he can repeat it in your life. Call on him.
