Facing an intense situation, here's what the Bible tells us to do.
In 2 Samuel 23 11, there's a story about a man named Shammah who found himself in a really intense situation.
He was in a battle for a field, and it said that everyone else had run,
but he decided he would station himself in the middle of that field and defend it.
And the Bible records that a great victory was won that day.
You know, as Christians, we already come from a place of victory.
Jesus has already won the victory for us.
So oftentimes when we're in intense situations, it's because the enemy is trying to come and just dislodge us from our field,
dislodge us from our victory.
And the Bible tells us in Ephesians 6 10-14 that we've got to put on the armor and we've got to stand.
We've got to actively resist the enemy by standing on the Word of God and speaking it out.
So if you find yourself in an intense situation today,
trust in the Lord, and He will bring about a great victory in your life, just like Shammah.
