David said to Goliath, "You come to me with a sword, a spear, and 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 taunted.This day the Lord will deliver you up into my hands, and I will strike you down." (1 Samuel 17:44-45) David did defeat Goliath that day! Our God is a God of the unseen armies and great power. We also "see" this "unseen reality" and God's power, in a story with Joshua right before the battle of Jericho: "Now it came about when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man was standing opposite him with his sword drawn in his hand, and Joshua went to him and said to him, "Are you for us or for our adversaries?" He said, "No; rather I indeed come now as captain of the host of the Lord." And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and bowed down, and said to him, "What has my lord to say to his servant?"The captain of the Lord's host said to Joshua, "Remove your sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy." (Joshua 5:13-15)We invite you listen to Pete share about the Lord of Hosts online_____  We had the privilege of having our sister and co-worker Char Hauser for a visit on Sunday. She gave a moving update on her life and ministry. We have posted her comments online to bless you and encourage you to pray for her>>
