More About This Series
With faith in Christ, you are never alone. Like David, focus on the Lord and listen for his voice. Jesus can bring victory in both as you walk in faith and not doubt.
At times spiritual battles will arise when you least expect them. Always be on guard and spiritually sensitive. We must never allow doubt or discouragement to take up residence in our minds or hearts. Our faith is in God; in his strength and his ability. We must always remember the battle is the Lord’s. Draw your strength, faith, and hope from the word of God and listen for the voice of the Holy Spirit to speak to your heart each day. Decide and know in your heart that whatever you face in life, you are not alone. The battle may look impossible in your eyes, but it is not impossible for God Almighty. Don’t look at the situation with your natural eyes. Look at it with eyes of faith, with your spiritual eyes wide open and with a heart like David; a heart for God.
