Hymn 25 – Tune 20:  The Battle for Good

·     The story of David and Goliath reminds us that God always has a simple way to win, but we often would not even think of it!

·     We would do better to put our trust in God, without knowing how He could possibly solve our problems, rather than try to solve them ourselves

·     Even Jesus acknowledged that the battle is the Lord’s, and trusted in His Father to set the directions in His life

·     God’s Power extends to solving both our day to day problems as well as upholding us in our hearts and minds as we fight against the influences of this world that try to turn us away from God

·     Let us seek to God to give us His armour so that we can stand against Satan and his forces as we wait the return of Jesus Christ to this Earth

·     The Battle to be preserved wholly, in spirit and soul and body until His return, is the Lord’s, and He will win that battle in those who believe in Him. 

Hymn 37 – Tune 34:  God and Good Prevail
