# 1 Chronicles 19 #soap ## Title: Let Us Fight And Trust ## Scripture: (1 Chronicles 19:13) “Be strong! Let’s fight bravely for the sake of our people and the cities of our God! The Lord will do what he decides is best!”” (NET) ## Observation: David’s kingdom gets the rap for being a sweet, beautiful place where David inherits the throne that was rightfully his. He did finally get the throne that was given to him by God, but it was not sweet. It took many battles. Many times in life we think something must be wrong because the victories we win are not easy. We are free, but there is no spiritual ground that will be uncontested. Our spiritual enemy will not give up his strongholds willingly. However, we stand in the victory Christ has already won. Therefore, we can declare the same battle cry as Joab. We can have courage and trust God to bring the victory in whatever manner He chooses. ## Application: Have courage and take the next step toward following God. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for helping us never let fear stop us from following You.
