1st Samuel 17:47. “And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give you into our hands.”
THE BATTLE IS THE LORD’S. It seems to get worse, the opposition is strong, And the laborers are getting weary in the field. We must turn unto the Lord to find out what is wrong; To the enemy, not a step should we yield.
But again, and again we try hard and we fail To see results that are effective and last. It seems like there are times when the enemies prevail, And our time of bringing in the harvest is past.
Then I read of this scene where fear seemed to reign, And the strongest and experienced men did halt. But a young man with trust knows God is the same As at first when he was chosen out and called.
Whether in the east or west, where’re our lot is cast – I am reminded the battle is the Lord’s. I feel so inadequate, like my productive days are past – And then, again I am challenged by the Word.
In the work that lies ahead we are going forth again, To strengthen the hands of those laboring for the Lord. May my mind be filled with truth that each one may obtain An understanding of the value of the truths we uphold.
“O God of all power, I rest in Thee and build again my hope and trust in Thee to use me for what pleases Thee. I guess I am “results oriented” and need to be reminded again and again that “the battle is the Lord’s.” In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
