“The Lord of Hosts”

David referred to God using this term when confronting the giant, Goliath…

David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin.  But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied”.
1 Sam 17:45

David was confident that “the Lord of hosts” would bring him victory …. and that he did by slaying Goliath!!!!

If yesterday was a challenging day for Irene, today was a very good day!  Thanks for praying!!!  Although challenged by the nausea she ventured to the mall and came home to some gardening in the front yard.  She worked on several personal projects around the house today and feels a sense of accomplishment.  Yay!!!

As “the Lord of hosts” came to David’s aid, so He comes to Irene’s (and all of ours) when facing a personal crisis.  We praise Him because he delivers us from fear, failure and defeat.

You are my hiding place; You protect me from trouble.  You surround me with songs of victory.
Psalm 32:7
