Ashamed

"Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly" (Psalms 6:10 KJV). There is no shame in serving Christ Jesus. When one is set free, they desire only one thing, that is to glorify God the Father. The Israelites were afraid, and every time the Philistine came down to the valley they feared for their lives. They were afraid to fight this man of a giant because fear contaminated their hearts. There is no fear in our Lord. However, when one is walking under their own authority and strength, fear will arise and keep them back from the valley they must walk through. Then David came, a young man filled with the power of God and one familiar with His presence. Fear was not about to keep him back from the giant that came against the God of Israel. Young David had no fear within his heart as he ran down to the valley to meet a warrior. He was not ashamed of being a child of God or Who he represented. God gave David strength and power to demonstrate power from His very own throne. Even if the Philistines laughed and mocked at this young boy, coming up against the champion, it did not matter to David. He knew God had the victory. The enemy is going to laugh, mock, ridicule, and make fun of every believer that steps into the valley. Today there are many demons or dark spirits that people are fighting, and they stand in front of them teasing and mocking them, ready to fill them with fear. Victory comes through God the Father, who gives men and women His strength to stand in the valley and face the enemy. We do not fight our own battles. God is there to fight them for us. Our job is to have faith and make our way into the valley to show the enemy he is not going to get the victory. Let's not be ashamed of Whom we serve or find ourselves hiding in this dark world. Let's face the enemy of darkness, for we are the children of Light. God bless you. Amen
