Scripture

2 Samuel 23:8–12

We fight our daily battles in the strength of the King who has already won the war.   #daybydaylw   Interested in learning more about becoming a devoted follower of Christ? Go to follow.lifeword.org!   ~~~   Scripture: 2 Samuel 23:8–12 (with reflection on Christ) Theme: Jesus, the greater David, has won our greatest battle. Reflection: We are told that these mighty men of David fought overwhelming enemies—Philistines, Moabites, Egyptians—and stood firm when no one else would. But even in their faith and courage, we see a foreshadowing of someone greater. Jesus, the Son of David, fought the ultimate battle—not against flesh and blood, but against sin and death itself. And unlike David’s men, we didn’t stand with Him. We fled. He fought alone and won. Jesus didn’t just overcome external enemies—He conquered our internal enemy: sin. And He didn’t do it to hand the sword back to us and say, “You finish the job.” He did it so we would trust Him daily for strength to overcome temptation and live in His victory. As believers, we still face battles, but we do so in the armor of the King who fights for us. This means your spiritual battles today—against anger, pride, addiction, despair—are not yours to win alone. They are fought in the strength of the Lord. He supplies the grace, the courage, and the victory. We fight not for victory, but from it. Prayer Points: Thank Jesus for fighting and winning the battle against your sin. Ask Him to clothe you in His strength for today’s temptations. Pray to grow in daily dependence on Christ’s finished work. 2 People to pray for Bryan & Pam Risner, our missionaries in Romania The Romanian Lifeword broadcast for the people of Romania Summary: We fight our daily battles in the strength of the King who has already won the war.
