When evil strikes and kills, when people are terrorized and suffer unjustly, they are often united to bring the perpetrators to justice.
About 1,000 years before Jesus was born, a young man’s blood started to boil when he heard the challenge of Goliath that terrorized his nation (1 Samuel 17). Young David didn’t even consider his own comfort and safety but only thought of the cause. No one was going to slander the true God, defy his power, and get away with it. So, he went into combat with Goliath, knowing the battle was the Lord’s and the victory would be for God’s people. Gigantic Goliath fell dead at the hands of the small, courageous David.
Does your blood boil when God is defied and slandered? Realize that the glory of God has shown brightly in sending his Son to fight for us. It is not only others who have defied God’s glory. We have joined them with our own sinful attitudes and actions. But Jesus put aside his heavenly glory and died on the cross to keep us from being terrorized by God’s justice and sin’s power. When we truly comprehend that wonderful truth and come to appreciate all that Jesus did for us, we are inspired to take up our Christian cause of living for the glory of God in whatever we do—both in the small and big things of our lives.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, help me to always live to your glory showing my great appreciation for all my Savior, Jesus, accomplished for me. Amen.
