Battle
2017 was a tough year with many challenges and changes much as the Israelite’s faced in 1 Samuel
A sense of hopelessness seemed to have taken hold across the land
What was once a felling of anticipation and a good future suddenly disappeared as a wisp on the wind
The nation was celebrating a new king, hope was on the horizon but the king’s disobedience brought them to a place of judgement and despair
Saul’s disobedience and refusal to yield to God brought the nation face-to-face with the regions most powerful army
How did they get here?
They lost the vision for God to lead their lives!
Even after the warning of the Lord the people refused to heed his advise!
The key verse here is v:20
“that we also may be like all the nations”
His own special people - possession - that which is acquired by considerable effort!
A relationship or a connection with the divine, an experience - literally “A group in a relationship with God that He acquired by considerable effort
We are in that relationship now because we are a HOLY nation - A group of people demonstrating divine qualities!
It is exactly what is happening around us today
Man needs to sooth his consciousness of sin so eradicate the rules
They created new rules that allowed them to live in their sin and continue their rebellion
“That our King may judge us”
Man does not want to hear about the Judgement of God
The Word of God drives home the reality that we missed the mark - harmatia Greek word for sin!
Man has a tolerance for sin - God does not
How can we judge righteously if we do not know what righteousness is?
An airplane pilot knows he needs to get from point a to point B and that he or she can’t so it on their own so they rely on the direction of the ATC
They do not move without permission and direction in order to safely navigate their journey!
Why do they trust the ATC?
They can see the whole picture and the potential dangers that exist
The Bible today is that source or our ATC!
Man seeks his own will but Jesus was seeking God’s will
That the king may go out before us into the battle!
Raise your hand today i you want to be on the losing team?
Who here today wants to serve in the army of defeat?
The very thing that set them apart from the other nations was their special relationship with God…but they lost focus of that!
Today the very thing that sets you apart from the world is special relationship with God
Being a Christian is to be an observable example of the one you proclaim!
It is as we walk in the righteousness of God's Word He becomes our defender
The problem here is that if there is a man in front then we have false sense of security and do not need to trust in our unseen God!
It is through our unwavering trust in His promises that brings us to the place of victory!
