David’s Lord and Gideon’s Friend………..

David's Lord and Gideon's Friend………..

 

By whom was David taught to aim the deadly blow, when he Goliath fought, and laid the Gittite low? Nor sword nor spear the stripling took, But chose a pebble from the brook, it was Israel's God and King who sent him to the fight; Who gave him strength to fling, And skill to aim aright. Ye feeble saints, your strength endures, because young David's God is yours. Who ordered Gideon forth, to storm th'invaders' camp with arms of little worth, a pitcher and a lamp? The trumpets made His coming known and the entire host was overthrown. Oh! I have seen the day, When with a single word, God helping me to say, "My trust is in the Lord," My soul hath quelled a thousand foes, Fearless of all that could oppose. But unbelief, self will, Self righteousness, and pride, how often do they steal my weapon from my side! Yet David's Lord, and Gideon's Friend, Will help His servant to the end. Psalm 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for you are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You may be walking through your valley of shadow. Sometimes it may seem like the enemy surrounds you everywhere, but remember that Lord Will never let you be by yourself, He will always be with you. Don't be afraid. Pray to God, to give you strength and wisdom to guide you to the light from your shadow. Be strong; be brave for, God is with you.
