Today's readings are Psalm 70, 1 Samuel 17.1-19, and acts 26.1-23.
Our Psalm sums up today's readings very well. When we are in trouble we call upon God to confuse our enemies. What does the Lord do to the Philistines? He will raise up an unexpected warrior. What does the Lord do for the early Christians who were being persecuted for their faith in Christ? He raises up a servant and witness in Saul of Tarsus, the man voted least likely to help a Christian.
Are we facing challenges? What kind of enemies do we face? Are any greater than the Lord? No, not one is. So we call on God, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, in living hope of deliverance. He is strong to save. Surely he will cast down His enemies and protect His people.
