DAILY READINGS: Judges 19; Isaiah 37:8-38; 1 Corinthians 15:1-34

Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. 1 Samuel 17:45

All that the world can bring against me, to cause me anxiety, to rob me of my joy, and to spoil my testimony are as nothing compared to the One whose thoughts toward me are innumerable. I wake up each day with the Lord of hosts on my side. He stands ready for every one of my battles. But I must choose to let Him do the fighting. Each temptation or anxious thought must be cast upon Him. Trust Him to take up the battle. He will give the victory. —B. Crawford

I take the life of victory, not I, but Christ Himself in me;
He conquers now, He sets me free; I take, He gives—the victory. —P. Rader
