1 Samuel 17:47.. All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.”

This is the epic line of our own epic David. Kumbaga pikup line nya kay Goliath bago nya sipatin ng bato ung noo nung higante. BooM! Aun, panalo si David. 

Nakaktuwang isipin, bakit nung mga panahong un, si Saul, walang magawa dun sa armies ng Philistine. Kahit na madami syang tauhan na pwedeng ipangtapatkay Goliath, he stayed still. Alam nyu ba kung bakit? Because of Saul’s lack of faith. 

Lack of faith brings fear and despair to all of us. Parang araw araw na buhay natin, masyado ka ba natatakot para sa bukas mo na hindi mo na naaalala na bigyan ng glory si God sa araw na to? Masyado ka ba natatkot sa pwedeng maging problema mo? Lack of faith, people. This is what injects us with these thoughts.

Sabi ni David sa verse kanina, the battle is the Lord’s. So ibig sabihin, bakit tayo magwowory sa mga problema na kakaharapin natin, kung alam natin na si Lord ang bahala dun? I mean, its wrong not to do something about it pero madalas kasi, tayong mga tao, may tendency na akuin natin lahat. Ung lahat ng problema pinapasan natin sa likod natin. By the verse above, let us remind ourself na ung problems natin e di naman natin kailangang pasanin lahat.

Isa pa, it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves. Minsan kapag nagdadasl tayo kay Lord, iniisip natin ung form ng help nya e bongga at extravagant. Pero this line can remind us na hindi palaging bonnga at extravagant ung ibibgay na help sayo ni Lord. Example nagdasal ka ng pera, ineexpect mo na mananalo ka sa lotto. No. Maybe God will move different people into your life helping you little by little. Di mo alam pero un pla ung way ni Lord para sa life mo. 

We live everyday not knowing what the next hour or the next second brings, pero one thing is for sure. If we have that big big faith for God, we will never have to worry taking these things alone. We have the Lord on our side, and with that we are sure to win everytime.

God bless!
