Good question! But God had clearly commanded David and his troops to go, and He had promised them victory if they obeyed, so they went…and inflicted “heavy losses” on the Philistine forces. We might likewise ask: Why leave home, where we are not always successful against Satan’s forces, to go to some other land where Satan is even more firmly entrenched? The answer: because God has commanded us to go, and because He promises victory if we obey. Jesus told His followers to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:18), and promised to be with them, and us, to the end of the age.
O Lord, may those in difficult ministries be especially aware of Your presence today. How glad we are that You are with them-and with us!
