Facing the Battles with God

Bible in a Year:

• Judges 7–8
• Luke 5:1–16

In the Lord I take refuge.

Psalm 11:1 The heroic deeds of US Army soldier Desmond Doss are featured in the 2016 movie Hacksaw Ridge. While Doss’ convictions wouldn’t allow him to take human life, as an army medic he committed himself to preserving life even at the risk of his own. The citation read at Doss’ Medal of Honor ceremony on October 12, 1945, included these words: “Private First Class Doss refused to seek cover and remained in the fire-swept area with the many stricken, carrying them one by one to the edge of the escarpment. . . . He unhesitatingly braved enemy shelling and small arms fire to assist an artillery officer.”

In Psalm 11, David’s conviction that his refuge was in God compelled him to resist suggestions to flee rather than face his foes (vv. 2–3). Six simple words comprised his statement of faith: “In the Lord I take refuge” (v. 1). That well-rooted conviction would guide his conduct.

David’s words in verses 4–7 amplified God’s greatness. Yes, life can sometimes be like a battlefield, and hostile fire can send us scattering for cover when we’re bombarded with health challenges or financial, relational, and spiritual stresses. So, what should we do? Acknowledge that God is the king of the universe (v. 4); take delight in His amazing capacity to judge with precision (vv. 5–6); and rest in His delight in what’s right, fair, and equitable (v. 7). We can run swiftly to God for shelter!

Reflect & Pray

When have you experienced life’s hostile fire and been tempted to find shelter in something other than God? Can you recall times when God came to your rescue and your hope in Him was renewed?

Father, help me to see You more clearly than any force that opposes me and run to You for true safety and security.

In liberating strife;
That more than self their county loved
And MERCY MORE THAN LIFE”

Incredible bravery and love for his fellow soldiers, thanks for honoring tonight’s Hero, Kathy!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, lightman...what a perfect verse!!

Is your snow all gone now?

We are getting melting temps during the day, but still below freezing at night. Possibility of snow tonight.

[mountainlion]

Looks like some 60 degree weather coming. That will seem hot. I remember in Viet Nam that 70 degree morning seemed cold. Ft. Lenoardwood was never warm while I was there.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...did you and Blue reconnect today? Best buds now?

Is Penny doing a good job guarding her porch?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Evenin’, Pro...and he was only 20 years old. Incredible bravery, indeed.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

[lightman]

Looks like we’re going to have a totally snow-less March, unless a couple of wet flakes land on Wednesday night. Some forecast are showing that.

Daffodils are peaking. Spring has sprung!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, mountainlion...60 degrees? WOW! Has all your snow melted?

We still have snow predicted, and I’m tired of it. Time to melt.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hurrah for you...spring has arrived!

I’m ready, but it’s not here yet.

[radu]

Greetings to all at the Canteen!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu...did you make it through the storms without damage? And trees down? Any flooding?

Looking like snow here.

I always make it a point to read these Kathy.
I am amazed at the strength and courage of average
Americans when put into crisis situations.

Then we have dregs like Clinton, Obama, Pelousy, Schumer,
and many others who are lauded as idols of morality and
leaders of our nation, it makes one sick with rage.
