1 Samuel 17:51 God uses the very thing the enemy intended for our harm to be used for our good

“Therefore David ran and stood over the Philistine, took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him, and cut off his head with it.”

1 Samuel 17:51



After David killed Goliath with the small stone to the forehead, David used Goliath’s own sword to cut off the giants head. God took something intended for David’s harm and used it for his good. God knows how to do that for us too. The enemy can try to use something to bring us harm, but God turns it around and uses it for our good. How can He do this? He is God. Romans 8:28 tells us “that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” I don’t know what you are going through. I don’t know what the enemy is throwing at you. But God does. Let God have control over the situation. Thank Him that He has the power and the ability to use what the enemy is trying to use for your harm and make it used for your good instead. Thank Him for His promise in scripture that says “that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those that are called according to His purpose.”

Father, the enemy comes against us and tries to cause us harm. Use his attacts instead for our good. We thank You that You did this in the life of David. May You also use this in our lives as well. You have promised us in Your Word “that all things work together for good to those who love” You. We cling to this promise and we stand on it. We give You praise. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
