God’s Favor Shows Up

16. June 2009 by Bernice Davis.

Hello: 

Here is our battle story for today:I Samuel 14:16 Saul’s lookouts at Gibeah in Benjamin saw the army melting away in all directions. 17 Then Saul said to the men who were with him, “Muster the forces and see who has left us.” When they did, it was Jonathan and his armor-bearer who were not there. 18 Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring the ark of God.” (At that time it was with the Israelites.) 19 While Saul was talking to the priest, the tumult in the Philistine camp increased more and more. So Saul said to the priest, “Withdraw your hand.” 20 Then Saul and all his men assembled and went to the battle. They found the Philistines in total confusion, striking each other with their swords. 21 Those Hebrews who had previously been with the Philistines and had gone up with them to their camp went over to the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan. 22 When all the Israelites who had hidden in the hill country of Ephraim heard that the Philistines were on the run, they joined the battle in hot pursuit. 23 So the Lord rescued

Israel that day, and the battle moved on beyond Beth Aven.  

As you can see in our text today, God intervenes and causes

Israel to be victories.    Ohhhhh.  I love God, even though Saul had messed up, God still heard the cries of his people and did not let the enemy wipe them out. 

Remember, for those of you that may have just joined, we are studying the monarchy which is the life of King Saul, David and Solomon.   This week we will be looking at battle stories.    

Be encouraged! 

God Bless!!!!!!!  Don’t forget to pray and read God’s word daily.
