Both David and Jesus our Lord overcome the foe by the sword of the Word of God; this gives us a practical lesson even in our everyday life. The same sword abides for us, and faith nerves the arm to use it. “It is written,” said the Lord. “I come to thee in the name of the Lord,” said David. God had written His name on Israel’s banner, and that was David’s confidence. The sure Word of God gives us victory in every conflict. Faith rests upon it, and by faith we overcome the world and its prince.
