Release the River

“God has broken through my enemies by my hand, like a bursting flood.” 1 Chronicles 14:11

This was such a unique victory that David named the place after it. A powerful burst of divine energy had surged through David and his troops, overwhelming the Philistine forces. God promised never to flood the earth again, but he never said there wouldn’t be little floods like this. In fact, all the battles God has called us to wage are in some measure this very thing: the bursting flood of God’s power and grace to push us right through the enemy.

Sin assaults us on every side. This very hour temptations are swirling about in your head; your heart is being wooed by the sirens of ten thousand unspiritual distractions. The assassins of unbelief have loaded their rifles and marked thee for death. What shall we do? Cower before them? Surrender? No, we shall trust God to decimate them all through our David, the Lord Jesus Christ who loves us, who has gone before us with swift power and decisive victory straight through every enemy.
