War! What Is It Good For? P6
4. David's Declaration (12:25-31)
"So David mustered the entire army and went to Rabbah, and attacked and captured it. He took the crown from the head of their king" (2 Samuel 12:29).
- David went back to war. He went back to doing what God had called him to do.
Victory comes when we live in obedience to God.
- David defeated his enemies, both physical & spiritual.
When we respond to God in the natural, he will bring victory in the supernatural.
So what is war good for?
War keeps us on our toes - prepared, alert, ready and watching.
War brings unity - we are in this together
War brings salvation - God is in the business of rescuing the perishing
War brings freedom - we can defeat our enemies
War brings justice - death to the oppressor
President Bush addressed the nation after the attacks of September 11th and said; "Whether we bring our enemies to justice, or bring justice to our enemies, justice will be done."
Well, God will bring His justice as well. So let's learn from the life of David and to stand firm, get into the battle, and take the crown from the head of our enemy!
