1 Samuel Seven

"But that day the LORD thundered with loud thunder against the Philistines and threw them into such a panic that they were routed before the Israelites."
----- 1 Samuel 7:10

The thunder of the Lord was so great that the Philistines were thrown into such a panic the Israelites were able to win the battle. Israel's fear was valid. The Philistines were a nation bigger and more powerful than the Israelites when looking at the tale of the tape. However, the nation of Israel had one major factor in their corner. The Living God!!! He will once again display His power and the Philistines will suffer another loss before Him.

Today I am reminded that with God on my side there is little I can not accomplish. With Him the mountains of life are manageable. The storms are less severe. The key is focus. When I focus on Him, I find fulfillment. When I focus on something else, I find fear and confusion.

"Father, help me see only You today."

Heart and Soul,
