Faith injector

Then all the world will know that Israel has a God, and this whole assembly will know that it is not by sword or by spear that the Lord saves, for the battle is the Lord’s. He will hand you over to us.”　(1 Samuel 17:46-47)

David’s words really hit me this morning.

His heart was that all nations would know the God he served. That as they saw God work through him, they would know how awesome he is.

But he also wanted to inject his own people with faith. They had lost their courage when faced with Goliath and the Philistines. And he wanted to help restore their faith.

That’s what I want. That’s my prayer.

I pray that those around me who don’t know God would see him working in me, and know that I have a God. A God who is powerful. And more importantly, a God who is good.

I pray that as they see God for who he is, that they would want to know him too.

But I also pray that I can inject the Christians around me with faith. That when they’re discouraged, they can see God working in me, and realize “God really is here. There is hope.”

Father, use me to inject faith and hope into those around me.
