“You Are Not Lunch” by Kirk Hunt
David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee.
1 Samuel 17:37 KJV
Please, read 17:22–57.
Israel’s soldiers did not want to face Goliath. Just his extraordinary size made him a formidable opponent. His superior arms and armor, on top of known skill-at-arms, made battle with him a fearful proposition.
David had faced, and overcome, fearsome opponents before. His faith and conviction swayed even King Saul, an extraordinary warrior in his own right. Still, a mere boy without conventional weapons, or any armor, challenged the champion of the Philistines. “I will feed you to the birds, boy.”
The hellhound is happy to see me. It drools with the anticipation of a delicious lunch. “I will feed you to myself, boy.”
I triple-check the buckles of my faith. I rehearse the victories God has already given me. I un-holster my Bible. I run toward the stench of brimstone.
Here in the real world, circumstances arise that are too much for mere men. As a son or daughter of the living God, victory has been promised. No matter how formidable your hellhound seems, God has success planned for you.
Armor up in faith. Wield your Bible. In the Name of the living God, you are victorious. Since God is with you, you are not lunch.
Think: My victory comes through God’s power.
Pray: “Lord, help me remember that I am already victorious through Your power.”
