The Word For You Today
TUESDAY JUNE 30
“Who is this uncircumcised Philistine?” 1Sa17:26 NKJV
TRUST YOUR COVENANT WITH GOD
Fourteen generations before David fought Goliath, God told Abraham, “I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse” (Ge12:3 NIV). Later, God extended this covenant to Abraham’s descendants and inserted a key provision: “You are to undergo circumcision, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and you” (Ge17:11 NIV). Apparently, no one in Saul’s army, including Saul himself, remembered they had a covenant with God, which led David to ask, “Who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?” David was asking, “How could this man, who has no covenant with God, even think about conquering us?” How strong is your faith in God’s covenant to bless, protect, and prosper those who are in right standing with Him? If you continue to run from the giants in your life, you will never see the power of God manifested. When you believe God’s promises, you won’t tolerate any giant in your life. Did you know that you’re an heir to the same covenant of blessing that God gave Abraham? “If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” (Gal 3:29 NIV). David rested on a covenant of protection that was fourteen generations old and is still good today. The story of David and Goliath is representative of the many battles we face on a regular basis: good over evil, God’s power over man’s strength, and faith over fear. Whatever the situation, we can rest on God’s Word: “We who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said” (Heb 4:3 NIV).
