House of David, Season 2: Trusting God in the Middle of the Storyنموونە

The Fight Is Rigged

When David stepped onto the battlefield against Goliath, most people assumed he was either arrogant or ignorant. How could a boy with no armor, no sword, and no battle record possibly win? But David wasn’t reckless—he was resolute. He knew something everyone else had missed: this wasn’t ultimately his fight, it was God’s.

David had a track record with God. He remembered the lion. He remembered the bear. He remembered every time God had come through before, and he trusted that this giant would fall the same way. While everyone else measured Goliath’s size, David measured God’s strength. That’s why he could step forward with courage.

This wasn’t about luck. It wasn’t even about skill. It was about God’s glory. And because the battle was for God’s glory, the outcome was already determined. The fight was rigged—not just in David’s favor, but in God’s.

You may be in a battle right now. It’s real. It’s heavy. But if your fight is surrendered to God’s glory, then the victory belongs to Him. Stop trying to get God on your side. Start asking how you can get on His.

Reflection Question: Where in your life do you need to remember the battle belongs to God?
