| 1 Chronicles 11:14 In this passage, David and Eleazar find themselves surrounded. The odds were against them. Or was it? Just as Elisha saw heaven's army ready to fight against the Syrian army, there was an invisible force at work. One can assume David did not fight in his own strength, but his strength came from the faith that was bred by experience. This was not his first battle. Instead of waving the flag of surrender, he and his leaders stood their ground. They stood their ground, and the Lord saved them. God saved them in response to their faith. Their faith moved God. Had they no faith, they would have run in fear, faith's opposite. When we feel surrounded, stand your ground in the word and prayer. Do not give in to the reasoning of the carnal mind- "I may as well give in", "this is how everyone would handle this". Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord. Warmest thoughts and prayers, Chantel |
Hi Family! We hope that your holiday was truly blessed! Not blessed with things but blessings of fellowship, giving, and most importantly, love. I think we take for granted the opportunity to be surrounded by people who actually want to be around us and who want to invest in our lives in some way! Although our year is full of holidays of pagan origin, they are awesome times for the family of God to gather together and just love on each other! Also, I surely don't take holidays that my husband gets off of work lightly! Love....
