"In that day shall the Lord defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and he
that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house
of David shall be as God, as the angel of the Lord before them" Zech.
12:8
One of the best methods of the Lord's defending His people is to make
them strong in inward might. Men are better than walls, and faith is
stronger than castles.
The Lord can take the feeblest among us and make him like David, the
champion of Israel. Lord, do this with me! Infuse thy power into me,
and fill me with sacred courage that I may face the giant with sling
and stone, confident in God.
The Lord can make His greatest champions far mightier than they are:
David can be as God, as the angel of Jehovah. This would be a marvelous
development, but it is possible, or it would not be spoken of. O Lord,
work thus with the best of our leaders! Show us what thou art able to
do -- namely, to raise thy faithful servants to a height of grace and
holiness which shall be clearly supernatural!
Lord, dwell in thy saints, and they shall be as God; put thy might into
them, and they shall be as the living creatures who dwell in the
presence of Jehovah. Fulfill this promise to thine entire church in
this our day, for Jesus' sake. Amen.
