What happened to David when he came out against that armored giant with nothing more than five rocks saying, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin [guns]. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied” (1 Samuel 17:45)? He flat out killed that huge enemy of whom all the armies were afraid.
Did God rebuke him and tell him he was mocking God? Hardly. God promoted him. He was a man after God’s own heart who God ratified and made king of Israel.
The same one who said, “Some trust in chariots, and some in horses [the flesh, your own self effort]: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God” (Psalm 20:7) was the same one that said, “Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman wakes but in vain” (Psalm 127:1).
Except the Lord watch over me, I’m done. Except the Lord watch over you, you’re done. And except the Lord watch over America, she is done.
Amen to that!
