Challenges in Our Lives

Through countless times in sunday school, the event of David and golieth has been tought. In 1 Samual 17:20 and following, the bible says that saul and all the men of Isreal were in the valley of elah, fighting the Philistines. When David rose up early in the morning. He left his sheep with the keeper. He came to the trench with everybody that was fighting. There was fighting, army against army that the philistines had caused. again David left his carriage in the hand of a keeper. He saluted his bretheren.
Let us pause for a moment. David arose to see to the fight. sometimes there are battles in our lives. We need someone to help. Those that want to help will Vuluntarily leave what they are doing to help there brother or sister in Christ out. But then opposition arrives from the people that is in need of help.
In verse 28 Eliab, Davids older brother was angry. Why did you come here?. To whom did you leave the sheep with? I know you are proud. You just came to see the battle. This argument was then turned to other men. David tried to tell them that there was a cause. But they kept telling david that he was proud and he wanted to see the battle.
Christian, It is not that others want to see the battle that is going on in our lives, we all know that it happens. It happens to me and it happens to you. We need each other as christian brothers and sisters. we need to help each other to win the battle. What is the battle? The battle is satan going to and fro trying to destroy us. The battle is letting Christ be the centre of our lives. The battle is living close to God and let the Holy Spirit lead us.
We need to be "giving in type of people for christ" and not in opposition when Help arrives.
