誰在爭戰？

經文: 「又使這眾人知道耶和華使人得勝，不是用刀用槍，因為爭戰的勝敗全在乎耶和華。祂必將你們交在我們手裡。」（撒母耳記上十七︰47）

我們要弄清楚，是上帝在打這場戰爭，而祂已得勝了，祂且要用最佳的方法
，彰顯祂的大能。神常被世人遺忘，即使以色列人也不例外；若有機會讓世人知道，這位自有永有的上帝，無需人的幫助，就能成就大事，這是何等彌足珍貴的。

以色列人太倚靠長矛利劍了，然而能看到大衛手無寸鐵地面對巨人，是何等好的事，因為大衛知道上帝是萬軍之耶和華，祂能攻破敵軍。

假若我們真信靠這位公義的上帝，我們就不再依靠金錢、才華，或任何人為的勢力，只單單使用平常所用的彈弓，以及河裡順手撿來的石頭，迎戰敵人。若這場戰是我們的，我們可能沒有信心，但若我們為耶穌的名出戰，並倚靠祂的大能，誰能抵擋我們呢？讓我們毫不猶疑地迎戰非利士人，因為上帝若幫助我們，誰能抵擋我們呢？


Whose Battle?

Scripture: "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"(1 Samuel 17:47).

Let this point be settled, that the battle is the LORD's, and we may be quite sure of the victory, and of the victory in such a way as will best of all display the power of God. The LORD is too much forgotten by all men, yea, even by the assemblies of Israel; and when there is an opportunity to make men see that the great First Cause can achieve His purposes without the power of man, it is a priceless occasion which should be well employed. Even Israel looks too much to sword and spear. It is a grand thing to have no sword in the hand of David, and yet for David to know that his God will overthrow a whole army of aliens.
If we are indeed contending for truth and righteousness, let us not tarry till we have talent, or wealth, or any other form of visible power at our disposal; but with such stones as we find in the brook, and with our own usual sling, let us run to meet the enemy. If it were our own battle we might not be confident; but if we are standing up for Jesus and warring in His strength alone, who can withstand us? Without a trace of hesitancy let us face the Philistines; for the LORD of hosts is with us, and who can be against us?
