When the Devil Won't Give Up
Steve Wagers
1 Chronicles 14:13
A little boy watched, fascinated, as his mother gently rubbed cold cream on her face. ''Why are you rubbing cold cream on your face, Mommy?'' he asked. ''To make myself beautiful,'' said his mother. A few minutes later, she began removing the cream with a tissue. ''What's the matter?'' he asked. ''Are you giving up?''
GOOD news - The devil isn't GOING TO WIN
BAD news - The devil isn't GOING TO GIVE UP
With every VICTORY comes a new VEROSITY
Bernard ''Kip'' Lagat is a world-class runner from Kenya. During the Sydney Olympics, an interviewer asked him how his country was able to produce so many great distance runners. With clever wit, Lagat told of the African strategy for motivating success in running. He said, ''It's the road signs. 'Beware of Lions.'
The same could be said of the road the Christian runs.
(1 Peter 5:8) ''Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.''
The devil is a:
BIRD seeking to DESPOIL the flock
WOLF seeking to DEVOUR the flock
SERPENT seeking to DECEIVE the flock
DRAGON seeking to DISMANTLE the flock
LION seeking to DESTROY the flock
If the devil's not fighting you, it's because you're:
1) A member of his family
2) No threat to him
3) Part of his arsenal he uses to fight God's people
(13) ''And the Philistines YET AGAIN spread themselves abroad in the valley.''
David had already defeated the Philistine champion, Goliath. The enemy didn't give up. They came back AGAIN and AGAIN. David's response demonstrates what to do when the devil won't give up.
1) SETTLE Your DEPENDENCE on God!
When the enemy came again, David knew where to turn. He didn't depend upon himself, but upon His God.
A) A CONFIRMATON of KINGSHIP (2)
Remember, David's problems didn't start UNTIL he was ANOINTED to be king. That's when the heart of Saul became as cruel as the grave through jealous ...
