The Victory is Certain
“…for the battle is the LORD’s ….” (1 Samuel 17:47 ESV).
If the battle is the Lord’s, then the responsibilities for planning belong to Him.
Everything connected with the line of attack, the method of defense, must belong to Him. We need not be anxious as to the enemy’s subtlety, or activity of power.
He has the full view of the enemy’s movements, and a perfect knowledge of the enemy’s devices. He has anticipated all the enemy’s wiles. It is impossible for Him to be deceived, or to be taken by surprise. It is His glory that is at stake; the honor of His name that is being assailed. He is able to withstand the mightiest foe!
If the battle is the Lord’s, the supplies will be all sufficient. No one knows how much is wanted in the day of battle like that general who has been through many campaigns. We shall lack nothing to make us victorious warriors.
The victory is certain!
The captain on whose side we are has never known defeat. He goes forth conquering and to conquer.
The enemy may apparently gain temporary advantage at different points of battle, but victory over Christ by satan is simply impossible. Let us have confidence in his power, and be obedient to his commands.
Queen Victoria said, “We are not interested in the possibilities of defeat. They do not exist!”
“Now thanks to be God who leads us on in the train of his triumph.” 2 Cor 2:14.
