引言: 我们都是小基督

一、耶稣胜过了试探 (V1-13)

1. 肉体需要的试探 (V1-4)

面对肉体上的需要，恶者往往会在我们的旁边给我们出主意，让我们感觉解决我们当前的需要是首要的。

这些或许是让我们顺其自然、合情合理、心安理得去体贴肉体的需要，但是实际上离开神口里所出的一切话是离开了生命的源头，走向死亡。

2. 身在高处的试探（V5-8）

人站在高处的时候很容易陷入骄傲自大、自我陶醉、目中无神无人的试探。因为沉醉在权柄、荣华、无忧无虑里面。

我们要警醒，在我们现在的环境中，我们有没有抓住一些事情是比神更重要的呢？让我们无论在高处或是低处都要紧紧抓住神，单要侍奉祂。

3. 恩赐能力的试探（V9-13）

魔鬼也会用经文、和挑衅的方式使我们远离神、陷入混乱当中。今天，在我们面对困难的时候，身边或许也有不认识神的人会挑衅我们说，为什么我们的神没有帮助我们这类的事情。

我们要留心，不可试探我们的神，因为祂的旨意比我们更高。

二、 耶稣靠圣灵传道 (V14-15)

耶稣无论在试探中、或是传道都是满有圣灵的能力。而且无论走到哪里，祂的名声就传遍了四方、人人都称赞祂。

三、耶稣被人的嫌弃 (V16-30)

耶稣回到自己的家乡讲道，甚至宣告自己就是那位弥赛亚。但是众人都将信将疑，因为和耶稣太熟悉了，只看祂是约瑟的儿子，本族的同胞而已。

这也提醒我们，不要被太熟悉蒙蔽在其中。特别在我们熟悉的人当中，有人提升为小组长、同工、或是传道人的时候，我们要看他们为我们的领袖，并不是因为太熟悉而轻看他们。

四、耶稣话语有权柄 (V31-37)

耶稣在家乡被弃绝，于是转向别的地方去传福音，神国的信息和能力就临到其他地方。祂能叫人在祂的话语中感受到神的权柄，从而对神产生敬畏和顺服的心。所以人们听出祂的话里有权柄。

五、耶稣医治的大能 (V38-41)

凡渴慕耶稣，来到耶稣面前的，耶稣都医治他们。许多的人来到耶稣面前，只是为了医病赶鬼，并不是想听道；只是为了解决人的需要，而不是来寻求神；只想脱离的是外邦的统治，并不是想脱离自己的罪。但主耶稣却毫无分别地按手在他们各人身上，医好他们。

六、耶稣行出大使命 (V42-44)

主耶稣基督道成肉身，乃是要服事人，但不是根据人的需要，而是按着神的旨意。祂并没有用自己的能力证明自己，而是愿意谦卑自己去到人群里传讲神的国。

总结：耶稣的委身，是我们的榜样。

Luke Chapter 4: Jesus-Our Example
GK611 Morning Devotion
27/10/2023
The Morning Devotion Speaker: Co-worker Asher Chang

Introduction: We are all little Christs

1. Jesus defeated temptation (V1-13)

(1) The temptation of fleshly needs (V1-4)

When faced with physical needs, the evil one will often stand by us to give us advice, making us feel that solving our immediate needs is the priority.

These may allow us to go with the flow, be reasonable, and feel at ease to consider the needs of the flesh, but in fact, departing from all the words that come out of God’s mouth means leaving the source of life and heading toward death.

(2) The temptation of being in high places (V5-8)

When people stand in high places, it is easy to fall into the temptation of arrogance, self-absorption, and arrogance. Because intoxicated with power, glory, and carelessness.

We need to be alert. In our current environment, have we grasped that some things are more important than God? Let us hold on to God whether we are high or low, and serve Him alone.

(3) The temptation of gifted power (V9-13)

The devil also uses scripture and provocations to draw us away from God and into chaos. Today, when we are facing difficulties, there may be people around us who do not know God who will challenge us and ask us why our God does not help us.

We must be careful not to tempt our God, for His purposes are higher than ours.

2. Jesus preached by the Holy Spirit (V14-15)

Jesus was full of the power of the Holy Spirit whether in temptation or in preaching. And wherever he went, His fame spread far and wide, and everyone praised Him.

3. Jesus was rejected by others (V16-30)

When Jesus returned to his hometown to preach and even declared that He was the Messiah, everyone reacted with doubts.

Because everyone was so familiar with Jesus and only saw Him as the son of Joseph and a fellow member of his own clan, they all chose not to believe Him. Because of their unbelief, Jesus stopped performing miracles there.

This also reminds us not to be blinded by too much familiarity. Especially when someone we are familiar with is promoted to a small group leader, a co-worker, or a preacher, we must regard them as our leaders and not look down upon them because we are too familiar with them.

4. Jesus’ Words are with authority (V31-37)

Jesus was rejected in his hometown, so he turned to other places to preach the gospel, and the message and power of the kingdom of God came to other places. He can make people feel the authority of God in His Words, and thus develop a heart of reverence and obedience to God. So, people heard that there was authority in His words.

5. The healing power of Jesus (V38-41)

Jesus heals all those who long for Jesus and come to Him. Many people come to Jesus just to heal the sick and cast out demons, not to hear the sermon; they just want to solve people’s needs instead of seeking God; they just want to escape from foreign rule, not their own crime. But the Lord Jesus laid hands on each of them without distinction and healed them.

6. Jesus carried out the Great Commission (V42-44)

The Lord Jesus Christ became flesh to serve people, not according to people’s needs, but according to God’s will. He did not prove himself with his own abilities but was willing to humble himself and preach the kingdom of God among the people.

Conclusion：Jesus’ commitment is our model.

26/10/2023

引言: 警队护送组

一、回应神呼召（v1-6）

1. 败坏的时代背景（v1-2）

从路加医生的描述，我们知道当时是一个社会淫乱，信仰腐败的时代。在这样黑暗的时刻，沉默了400年后的神，终于开口对约翰说话。这是施洗约翰回应神的呼召，事奉生涯的开始。

2. 基督的开路先锋（v3-6）

路加引用以赛亚书40:3-5所记载的这段经文，目的是要让当时熟悉旧约圣经的犹太人明白，他之后要介绍的耶稣就是预言中的弥赛亚。而施洗约翰在旷野回应神的呼召成为基督的开路先锋，到约旦河一带传悔改的洗礼，目的就是要为主预备人的心，使人的罪得赦免。见到神的救恩。

基督第一次来是为人类带来救赎恩典。但是第二次的再来却是为了审判。在这黑暗悖谬的世代，我们都是神所拣选，为基督再来预备道路的先锋。让我们都起来回应神的呼召。

二、生命的预备（v7-21）

当时的犹太人中间有这样的传说：他们的祖宗亚伯拉罕坐在地狱门口，不许他任何一个子孙下到地狱’，因此认为自己是不会被审判。约翰指出他们的想法完全错误，并警告，要逃避神将来的审判，逃避地狱之火，除了受洗外，更重要的是生命要结出好果子来，与悔改的心相称：

1. 怜悯施予（v11）

施比受更为有福。怜悯和施予是基督徒活出悔改生命的最好证明。因为主的怜悯和施予我们恩典，让我们白白领受救恩和祝福。因此当看到别人的需要，我们也要伸出援手，成为神祝福的管道。

2. 知足诚实（v12-14）

税吏是替罗马帝国政府征收税款的犹太人，在当时都有贪婪的问题。 他们欺压同胞，中饱私囊。 兵丁是罗马政府在当地雇用的护卫兵。 这些兵丁常仗势欺人，蛮横对待一般平民，夺别人的钱财，占为己有。因此约翰说正直诚实，知足不讹诈人，乃是真正悔改的表现。

3. 高举基督（v15-16）

施洗约翰很清楚自己是被呼召作基督的开路先锋。所以当群众猜测他是否就是弥赛亚时，他及时澄清误解，并且高举基督。

在牧养上，我们要谨慎守住本位。要把人带到主的面前，不是自己面前。更别挡住别人仰望基督的视线。

4. 要传福音（v17-18）

这里提到的是主基督再来时所施行的审判。麦子要收在仓里。没用的糠要被灭尽。世界局势让我们知道基督再来的日子不远了。让我们趁恩典之门仍然敞开，审判没到之前，竭尽所能的传福音。

5. 维护真理（v19-20）

约翰为了维护真理，不妥协于道德沦亡而最终为主殉道。

现今的世代有许多歪曲真理的学说和教导，有许多错误的价值观和潮流都会使基督徒掉入妥协和牺牲真理的光景，我们要谨慎。

6. 圣灵充满（v21-22）

约翰呼吁人悔改，用水施洗只是悔改的记号，并不能施行拯救或改变生命。因此，我们需要从耶稣而来的圣灵与火的洗礼来炼净我们的生命。使我们能拥有谦卑的生命。以至于天门为我们打开，过得胜的生活、服事充满果效和能力来荣耀神。

三、耶稣是人子（v23-38）

路加所记载耶稣的家谱，是要凸显耶稣的人子身份。与施洗约翰一样，主耶稣盼望我们能与祂同工同配搭，成就神国更大的事。

总结：你预备好了吗？

弟兄姐妹，在神末后所要成就的事上，你有份吗？主耶稣如果今天就回来，你预备好了吗？是否能坦然无惧地迎接祂呢？

我们都是被神呼召为主第二次再来预备道路的警队护送组、开路先锋。不但要帮助我们所爱的人预备好面对末后的审判。昨天，在爱新加坡举办的青年牧者聚会中也鼓励教会要门徒训练年轻的一代成为收割庄稼的工人，成为现代的施洗约翰！GK正积极的预备我们年轻一代的YAY，你会参与在当中吗？

Luke 3 Preparing for the Lord’s second coming
GK611 Morning Devotion
26/10/2023
The Morning Devotion Speaker: Ps. Deborah Tan

Introduction:

1. Responding to God’s Call (v1-6)

(1) The background of a corrupted age (v1-2)

From Dr Luke’s description, we know that it was a time of social debauchery and corruption of faith. In such a dark time, God, after 400 years of silence, finally spoke to John. This was the beginning of John the Baptist’s ministry career in response to God’s call.

(2) Christ’s pioneer (v3-6)

Luke quoted this passage from Isaiah 40:3-5 in order to make the Jews, who were familiar with the Old Testament at that time, understand that the Jesus he was to introduce later was the prophesied Messiah. And John the Baptist responded to God’s call in the wilderness to be the pioneer of Christ, and went to the area of the Jordan River to preach the baptism of repentance, with the purpose of preparing the hearts of men for the Lord, so that they might receive forgiveness of sins. Seeing God’s salvation.

Christ’s first coming was to bring salvation for mankind. But the second coming is for judgment. In this dark and perverse age, we are all God’s chosen pioneers to prepare the way for Christ’s second coming. Let us all rise up and answer God’s call.

2. Life’s preparation (v7-21)

There was a legend amongst the Jews at that time that their ancestor Abraham sat at the gates of hell and did not allow any of his descendants to go down to hell’, and therefore thought that they would not be judged. John pointed out that their thinking was totally wrong, and warned that to escape God’s future judgment and the fires of hell, apart from baptism, it was more important that the life should bear fruits worthy of repentance：

(1) To give mercy (v11)

It is more blessed to give than to receive. Mercy and giving are the best evidence of a Christian living a life of repentance. Because of the Lord’s mercy and grace to us, we freely receive salvation and blessing. Therefore, when we see the needs of others, we must also reach out and become channels of God’s blessing.

(2) Be content and honest (v12-14)

Tax collectors were Jews who collected taxes for the Roman government, and at that time all had a problem with greed. They oppressed their fellow man and enriched themselves. Soldiers were local guards employed by the Roman government. These soldiers were often bullying and brutalizing the common people, taking other people’s money and possessing it for themselves. So John says that being upright and honest, being content and not blackmailing people, is a sign of true repentance.

There are many doctrines and teachings that distort the truth in today’s generation, and there are many false values and trends that can cause Christians to fall into compromising and sacrificing the truth, and we need to be careful.

(3) Exalting Christ (v15-16)

John the Baptist was well aware that he was called to be a pioneer for Christ. So when the crowds speculated whether he was the Messiah or not, he promptly cleared up the misunderstanding and exalted Christ.

In pastoral care, we have to be careful to keep our place. Bring people to the Lord, not to ourselves. Let us not block the view of others to Christ.

(4) Evangelise (v17-18)

The reference here is to the judgment that will be administered at the return of the Lord Christ. The wheat will be gathered in the barn. The useless chaff will be destroyed. The world situation lets us know that the day of Christ’s return is not far off. Let us do all we can to evangelise while the door of grace is still open and the judgment has not come.

(5) Defend the truth (v19-20)

John was ultimately martyred for his Lord in order to defend the truth and not compromise with moral deprivation.

(6) The filling of the Holy Spirit (v21-22)

John calls for repentance, baptism with water is only a sign of repentance, it does not effect salvation or change of life. Therefore, we need the Holy Spirit from Jesus and the baptism of fire to purify our lives. So that we may have a life of humility. So that the gates of heaven will be opened for us to glorify God by living a victorious life and serving with fruitfulness and power.

3. Jesus is the son of man (v23-38)

The genealogy of Jesus recorded by Luke is meant to highlight Jesus’ identity as the son of man. Like John the Baptist, the Lord Jesus expects us to be co-workers and partners with Him in accomplishing the greater things of the Kingdom of God.

Conclusion: Are you ready?

Brothers and sisters, do you have a part in what God will accomplish? If the Lord Jesus were to return today, would you be ready? Would you be able to welcome Him without fear?

We are all called by God to prepare the way for the Lord’s Second Coming as police escorts and pioneers. Not only do we need to help our loved ones prepare for the Last Judgment, but we also need to help our loved ones prepare for the Last Judgment. Yesterday, at the Youth Pastors’ Gathering organised by Love Singapore, the church was also encouraged to disciple the younger generation to become workers in the harvest field and modern day John the Baptists! GK is actively preparing our younger generation for YAY, will you be a part of it?

25/010/2023

引言: 毛遂自荐

一、耶稣降生带下盼望（2:1-21）

1.耶稣是按着预言来到世界（V1-7）

约瑟和马利亚因报名上册，特意从拿撒勒南下到伯利恒，结果耶稣在伯利恒城诞生，其实先知以赛亚弥迦先知早有预言，可见神安排救主的降生，在历史中应验是何等地奇妙。

2.耶稣是光来照亮一切黑暗（V8-14）

神在两约之间有四百多年的沉默。对于神的选民，他们渴望弥赛亚早日到来，拯救他们脱离控制与困锁。天使显现与报信是最大的喜讯。因为这个喜讯给人带来重见光明的希望。

3.刻意生在律法下成为救赎（V15-24）

耶稣即是亚伯拉罕的的子孙，为女子所生，且生在律法之下，就当受割礼。给他取名叫耶稣，耶稣即约书亚，乃耶和华的救恩之意。因此耶稣谦卑生在律法之下，就是要把律法之下的人给救出来。

二、遵行神话得知使命（2:25-39）

神的话像方向标一样引导我们。当我们学会读神的话、行神的话，就一定可以明白我们的责任与使命。

三、孩童耶稣与众不同（2:40-52）

童年的耶稣以父的事为念，目标清晰，更是儿女当顺从父母的好榜样。因此，他的智慧和身量并神和人喜爱他的心都一起增长。

总结：

不要让成长的环境，和眼前所见的限制了你的眼光，以至于无法看清上帝在你生命中的托付与祝福。同时，当我们愿意信靠及顺服神的带领，认定祂的同在，祂终必带领我们通过考验并进入丰盛之地。

Luke 2 Humble Yourself to Become Salvation
GK611 Morning Devotion
25/10/2023
The Morning Devotion Speaker: Brother Bezalel Tan

Introduction: Self- recommendation

1. Jesus’ birth brings hope (2:1-21)

(1) Jesus came into the world according to prophecy V1-7

Joseph and Mary purposely travelled south from Nazareth to Bethlehem because of enrollment in the book of the Lord. As a result, Jesus was born in the city of Bethlehem; in fact, the prophet Isaiah Micah had foretold this, so we can see that God had arranged for the Saviour’s birth, and how marvelous it was to be fulfilled in history.

(2) Jesus is the light that illuminates all darkness (V8-14)

God was silent for more than four hundred years between the two covenants. For God’s chosen one, they longed for the Messiah to come soon and rescue them from their control and bondage. The angelic appearances and announcements were the greatest glad tidings of all. For this glad tidings brought the hope of seeing the light again.

(3) Deliberately born under the law to be saved (V15-24)

Jesus, the son of Abraham, born of a woman, born under the law, was to be circumcised. He was given the name Jesus, which means Joshua, the salvation of the LORD. So Jesus humbled himself to be born under the law to save those under the law.

2. Obeying God’s Word to know of the mission (2:25-39)

God’s Word is like a directional sign that guides us in the direction we are going. When we learn to read and act on God’s Word, we will surely understand our responsibility and mission.

3. The child Jesus was different (2:40-52)

The child Jesus was mindful of his Father’s business and had a clear goal, and was a good example for children to obey their parents. As a result, he grew in wisdom and stature and in favour with God and man.

Conclusion:

Don’t let your upbringing and what you see limit your vision, so that you cannot see God’s commitment and blessing in your life. At the same time, when we are willing to trust and obey God’s leading and recognise His presence, He will ultimately lead us through trials and tribulations. He will lead us through the trials and into the land of abundance.

引言: 当你听到神超常的预言，你会相信、会回应吗？

一、根据事实写的福音(V1-4)

路加特别强调他所传的福音是：所成就的事，别人亲眼看见，又经过他详细考察了，是根据事实所写的福音。而这正是福音最奇妙的地方，是可以经历和验证的。

二、预言施洗约翰的出生（V5-25）

1.义人祷告蒙神垂听（V5-17）

这里首先讲述了约翰的父母，祭司撒迦利亚和伊利莎白。他们二人在神面前都是义人，没有可指摘的，但是年纪老迈了，还是没有生育。撒迦利亚肯定为此事祷告了很久，等待了很长的时间。

当我们祷告时，神会按照祂最好的时间和方式来回应我们。若你正在等待着祷告蒙应允，撒迦利亚夫妇正是你的榜样。

2．祭师软弱神仍施恩（V18-23）
虽然撒迦利亚是虔诚义人，但是还是有软弱的时候。他只看他们夫妇的身体老迈了，以至于看不到神的大能。撒迦利亚的不信，使他暂时成为哑巴。但最终神仍施恩于他们夫妇，让以利沙伯怀孕除掉羞辱。

我们要有信心相信神的预言。神的话能把不可能的变为可能，人的理性不能拦阻神的旨意。四百年前神所预言的，四百年后神都要成就。神并不善忘，而是等候祂的时间。

三、预言神子耶稣的降生 (V26-56)

天使去向一位童女马利亚显现，预告她会从圣灵怀孕，生下一个儿子，要给他起名叫耶稣，必称为神的儿子。马利亚回答：我是主的使女，情愿照你的话成就在我身上。玛利亚选择接受了这充满挑战的呼召，接着她就说：我心尊主为大，以神我的救主为乐；无论神使用何种方式来成就祂的旨意，玛利亚都坚信‘神为我成就了大事’！

马利亚是个勇敢的女孩！尤其在那个年代，未婚先孕不但会被未婚夫休掉，甚至可能会被人用石头打死，但马利亚全然相信并回应神的旨意。神会用的人，一定是顺服回应神的人！

四、主的开路先锋出生了（V57-80）

施洗约翰降生是大喜事，因为他是为主开路的先锋！约翰将给人们带来无限喜乐和盼望。当撒迦利亚写下‘他的名字是约翰’这几个字时，撒迦利亚的口开了，舌头舒展了，开始说话赞美神！

撒迦利亚被圣灵充满，预言救恩即将到来：神将救恩的大能安放在我们之中。施洗约翰要将救恩带到神的民当中。

总结：

让我们都向马利亚学习，相信神的预言，回应神的拣选。每日来到神的面前，更多地思想明白祂的话语，甘心顺服，‘因为出于神的话，没有一句不带能力的’！当神的心意在我们生命中显明的时候，我们就可以成为荣耀神的器皿！

Luke 1 Believe God’s Prophecy and Respond to God’s Calling
GK611 Morning Devotion
24/10/2023
The Morning Devotion Speaker: Ps. Daniel Kew

Introduction: When you hear God’s divine prophecy, will you believe it and respond to it?

1. Gospel written based on facts (V1-4)

Luke particularly emphasised that the gospel he preached was a gospel that was written based on facts because the things that had been accomplished were seen by others with their own eyes and carefully examined by him. And this is the most amazing thing about the gospel, it can be experienced and verified.

2. Prophecy of the birth of John the Baptist (V5-25)

(1) The prayers of the righteous are heard by God (V5-17)

Here we first talk about John’s parents, the priests Zechariah and Elizabeth. Both of them were righteous before God and blameless, but they were old and barren. Zechariah must have been praying and waiting for this for a long time.

When we pray, God responds to us in His best time and way. If you are waiting for answers to your prayers, Zachariah and his wife are your examples.

(2) Even though the priest is weak, God still shows mercy (V18-23)

Although Zechariah was a devout and righteous man, he still had moments of weakness. He only saw that their bodies were old and he could not see the power of God. Zechariah’s unbelief rendered him temporarily mute. But in the end, God was still gracious to the couple and allowed Elizabeth to get pregnant to remove the shame.

We must have faith to believe God’s prophecies. God’s words often make the impossible possible, and human’s reasoning cannot hinder God’s will. What God predicted four hundred years ago will be fulfilled four hundred years later. God is not forgetful but waits for His timing.

3. Prophecy of the birth of Jesus, the Son of God (V26-56)

An angel appeared to a virgin Mary, foretelling that she would conceive from the Holy Spirit and give birth to a son. He would be named Jesus, and he would be called the Son of God. Mary answered: Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word. Mary chose to accept this challenging call, and then she said: “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior. no matter what method God uses to accomplish His will, Mary firmly believes ‘God has done great things for me’!

Mary is a brave girl! Especially in that era, those who became pregnant out of wedlock would not only be divorced by their fiancés but might even be stoned to death. Nevertheless, Mary fully believed in and responded to God’s will. The person God will use must be someone who obeys and responds to God!

4. The Lord’s pioneer is born (V57-80)

The birth of John the Baptist was a great joy because he was the pioneer who opened the way for the Lord! John will bring great joy and hope to people. When Zechariah wrote the words “His name is John,” Zechariah’s mouth opened, his tongue loosed, and he began to speak and praise God!

Zechariah filled with the Holy Spirit, prophesied that salvation was coming; God has placed the power of salvation in us. John the Baptist was to bring salvation to God’s people.

Conclusion：

Let us all learn from Mary, believe in God’s prophecies, and respond to God’s calling. Come before God every day, meditate more on and understand His words, and obey them willingly, ‘because the Word of God brings power’! When God’s will is revealed in our lives, we can become vessels that glorify God!

引言：得胜的玉玺

一、唯有神是得胜 （V1-5）

这是大卫出征之前的祷告，在这一段经文是百姓们为王的祷告。他们的心都是专注于神，不在于世人所依靠的车、马和势力等。即使他们预备了军力、有了筹算、甚至有大卫王带领他们，但是他们仍然将他们所有一切和君王都交托给神。因为唯有神能高举人、使人得胜、成就得胜。

我们在做事情的时候，或许我们也有很好的领袖、财力、能力、人力，等。但是即便是在非常有把握的时候，也不要忘记神的名字。一切都不要忘了是为了神的荣耀。

二、信心回应不忘神（V6-8）

这一段经文是王的回应，王宣告必胜的信心是出自于倚靠神。在当时候的时代，车和马都是战争中最重要的武力。这一些都是眼睛看得见的、手摸得见、很实际的事物。即便大卫的军队只有步兵，没有这一些车和马，他仍然有必胜的信心，完全投靠人所看不见的神。

这特别提醒我们，不要定睛在世界的价值观，不是因为世界的标准要有什么才是成功，而是凡事上都不忘记神。

三、唯有神成就美事（V9）

百姓们在王的回应后，继续为王祷告。虽然众民都有信心，王也有信心，全国上下的士气都非常兴旺。即便一切都看似必然得胜，但百姓们的祷告是愿王应允我们，让神的旨意成就。

虽然我们有了一切的把握，但是最后唯有神会成就最美好的事。无论最后的结果会是怎样，我们都把焦点放在神身上，愿祂的应允我们。

总结：凡事让神介入，提到神的名！

Psalm 20: “Remember the Name of God”
GK611 Morning Devotion
20/10/2023
The Morning Devotion Speaker: Co-worker Asher Chang

Introduction: The Jade Seal of Victory

1. Only God is the winner (V1-5)

This is David’s prayer before he goes to war. In this passage, it is the people’s prayer for the king. Their hearts are focused on God, not the chariots, horses, and forces the world relies on. Even though they prepared their troops, had their plans, and even had King David leading them, they still entrusted everything they had and their king to God. Because only God can exalt people, grant victory, and achieve victory.

When we are doing things, we may also have good leaders, financial resources, abilities, manpower, etc. But even when you are very sure, never forget God’s name. Never forget that everything is for the glory of God.

2. Respond with faith and never forget God (V6-8)

This passage is the king’s response. The king’s confidence in claiming victory comes from relying on God. At that time, chariots and horses were the most important weapons in war. These are all things that can be seen with the eyes, touched with the hands, and very practical. Even though David’s army only consisted of foot soldiers and did not have chariots and horses, he still had the confidence to win and relied completely on the invisible God.

This reminds us not to focus on worldly values, not because success is based on the world’s standards, but because we should never forget God in everything.

3. Only God can accomplish good things (V9)

After the king responded, the people continued to pray for the king. Although all the people were confident, the king was also confident, and the morale of the whole country was very high. Even though everything seems certain to win, the people’s prayer is that the King will answer us, and God’s will be done.

Although we have all the assurances, only God will accomplish the most wonderful things in the end. Regardless of the result, we focus on God and may He answer us.

Conclusion: Let God intervene in everything and mention God’s name！
