Standing on the Promises, 3

Hebrews 13:6 quotes from Psalm 118:6, 7. This Psalm celebrates God's help and deliverance in times of conflict, his supporting presence in the middle of distress and discouragement. Scripture teaches the sovereignty of God so that we will fight for God's will to be done, not so that we will do nothing.

David fought his battles with the Lord beside him, and so he won. But David still had to fight, and he had to fight all his life. David is a type and foreshadowing of Christ, his greater Son. Because we are in Christ, we, too, must fight, but because we are in Christ, we, too, will win.
