But, upon arrival, David and his men found that the Amalekites had attacked, raided and burned Ziklag and taken their wives, sons and daughters captive. I love verse 4 which says, \u201cSo David and his men wept\u00a0aloud until they had no strength left to weep\u201d because that has been my exact situation before. Yet, in verse 6 it says, \u201cBut David found strength\u00a0in the\u00a0Lord\u00a0his God.\u201d That\u2019s what I want my final response to always be.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">David then inquired of the Lord if he should pursue the Amalekites and God says yes. This is interesting to me because it is contrary to what I had just learned about the Lord my Avenger who tells me to rest at His right hand. What I realized is that the Lord doesn\u2019t want us avenging ourselves, but he is in full support of our taking back what the enemy has stolen from us.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The passage continues on to say David came upon the Amalekite camp and he saw them enjoying their plunder. But, he did not fear. He fought from dusk until evening and in the end, \u201cDavid recovered\u00a0everything the Amalekites had taken\u201d (1 Samuel 30:18). It adds, \u201cNothing was missing\u2026David brought everything back\u201d (1 Samuel 30:19).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the names of God is \u201cThe Lord My Banner\u201d. In ancient times, when a people group would take over a land, the first thing they would do is drop the enemy\u2019s flag and raise their own flag high to display their victory and ownership. That\u2019s what God did with satan. Jesus defeated satan on the cross, dropped satan\u2019s flag forever and raised up God\u2019s Banner declaring full and final victory over all our battles into eternity. He claimed ownership over all his children and all of their battles. In doing so, He calls HIS victory OUR victory.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes in the middle of your circumstances, it can become easy to focus on the current status of your individual battle. It can look like defeat and satan will tell you lies to make you believe it will end in defeat. But when you look up, you can see the Banner hanging high for all eternity, and it covers you. It\u2019s your victory. Jesus won every battle for us. So look up and keep your eyes fixed on the Lord your Banner as you take back everything the enemy stole from you.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"wordads-inline-marker\" style=\"display: none;\"\/>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I feel like David; I feel like a lot has been taken from me.\u00a0 If you are unfamiliar with the story, in 1 Samuel 30 David and his men return to Ziklag where their families and belongings were left.
