We need believers like Shammah that find themselves with a field to defend.

2 Samuel 23:11-12

And after him was Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. The Philistines had gathered together into a troop where there was a piece of ground full of lentils. So the people fled from the Philistines. But he stationed himself in the middle of the field, defended it, and killed the Philistines. So the Lord brought about a great victory.

Defend your family, church, neighbors and workplace.  Identify your field and take a stand and experience the victory that only arrives from the Master’s Service.

Put on the armor of God and get in the battle.

I really appreciate directions that my mind can grasp readily. Here is some advice you can really bank on.

Now go and do exactly what it says and don’t self-complicate things unnecessarily.

Genesis 15:1

After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not be afraid,Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.” 

The future didn’t look very encouraging, but God was in charge of the future and not Abraham or his enemies.

Don’t get angry at politicians, China or the Corona virus.

None of this surprises the Lord and it has a purpose if you are faithful.

Psalm 37:7

Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him;
Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way,
Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.

Good time to read the Word, study and pray.

We have a bigger shortage of these three things than toilet paper.

Lacking in self-esteem?  So was Abraham. You have that in common with him. We have evidence that God listened to Abraham and He will listen to you. As such, you can make a difference in others’ lives too.

Genesis 18:27

Then Abraham answered and said, “Indeed now, I who am but dust and ashes have taken it upon myself to speak to the Lord

So many to pray for and so little time.
