Yahweh-Tsabbaoth means the Lord of hosts. The second stanza from Martin Luther’s hymn “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God” says, “Did we in our own strength confide, Our striving would be losing, Were not the right man on our side, The man of God’s own choosing. Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He, Lord Sabbaoth His […]

David had a choice, he could allow Goliath to defeat him or he could stand up to Goliath and prove just how strong he was. David chose to stand up to Goliath and prove his strength. But, the one thing he did before swung that rock was to pray and ask God’s help. There are times when we have our […]

At some point David has returned to the fields and his sheep. 1 Samuel 16:17 tells us that Jesse’s three oldest sons {Eliab, Abinadab and Shammah} have followed Saul into battle. The Philistine’s are torturing Saul and his men. For forty days he “drew near morning and night”. Jesse asked David to take his brothers some food. David does as […]
