Framing Our World

[Albert Finch]

1 Samuel 17:46 - This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the Lord's, and He will give you into our hands.

David framed his world. Before he ever fought Goliath, he called out what the outcome would be. He called things that be not as though they were (Romans 4:17). By faith, Daivid said, "the Lord is going to give you into my hands today, Goliath, and I'm going to cut off your head!"

God wants us to be successful in our praying and in our saying. If He didn't want us to succeed, He wouldn't have give us a pattern by which we could frame our world.
