For the battle is the Lords"

For the battle is the Lords
I Samuel 17:47.
Many people believe that the
battle belongs to the nation that
has the best equipment and the
most powerful armies, but it is
not so. Listen to the words of
David: "The Lord saveth not with
sword and spear: for the battle is
the Lords"
Let us not forget that the above
words were spoken by one of the
greatest soldiers that ever lived.
Yes, David had strength and skill
as warrior for he again says:
BLESSED be the Lord my strength,
which teacheth my hands to war,
and my fingers to fight''-Ps.
144:1. But David realized, no
matter how powerful or skillful
an army may be, it is in the hands
of God to win or lose. David had
fought single handed, David had
commanded army after army in
great battles and he knew what
he was talking obout. Let us not
think that our nation will be
bound to win because of it's pro-
duction, its large army, or its in
vincible weapons can lose and
will lose if God in His wisdom
sees best that it should lose.
Please do not forget this, my
friends.
Let us prove the truth of the
statement, "The Battle Is The
Lords"

If there was ever a human tank
it was this man Goliath with his

Now compare the dress of Da-
vid with the above giant dressed
in his invincible armor.
"And he took his staff in his
hand, and chose him five smooth
stones. out of the. brook, and put
them in a shepherds bag which
he had, even in a script; and his
sling was in his hand: he was
but a youth, and ruddy, and of a
fair countenance"-I Sam. 17:41-
AZ. What a boy!
How did the battle turn out?
The giant cursed David and made
fun of him-David said, I will
slay thee ''that all the earth may
know that there is a God in Is
rael FOR THE BATTLE is

The end of the battle. 1t was
a short one. "And David put his
hand in his bag and took thence
a stone, and slung it, and smote
the Philistine in his forehead, that
the stone sunk into his forehead,
and he fell upon his face to the
earth but there was no sword
in the hand of DAVID I Sam.

Picture the end of the battle

leaps upon his back and cuts off

not true when he shouted than at
