1 Chronicles 11:14 But Eleazar and David held their ground in the middle of the field and beat back the Philistines. So the Lord saved them by giving them a victory.
The Israelite army were fighting for their lives against the Philistines in a field of barley but they gave up and fled before their enemy's onslaught, except that is, for Eleazar and David. They held their ground, they didn't give up. They resisted the enemy, beat them back and the Lord miraculously saved them. He was on their side and He honoured them for their courage in the face of terrible odds.
With God you become the majority, you become the Victor because the Greater One is in you.
It says God gave them the victory so today if you feel like you're resisting on your own, that the odds are stacked against you, remember Eleazar and David in the field of barley. You're not alone.
Is the enemy trying to beat you down, trying to make you surrender to his onslaught? Maybe your symptoms feel like they're no better or getting worse, maybe your situation looks like there is no hope of improving? The enemy is very clever at bombarding us with very distressing 'facts' but that is where our faith kicks in for us, that is when we stand on the Word of God and declare His promises by faith in our Mighty God despite how we feel or what things look like. You are a child of the Most High God and He is on your side, and His angels have been commissioned to minister to you and for you.
So let me encourage each of us today to continue to stand and hold our ground because we are not alone and we can be sure of this - God is for us and with us. He will deliver us and He will help us overcome, despite the odds, and despite what anyone else may say!
Thank you Lord.
