Downfall of a proud

 DAILY SHOWER September 28, 2022 Devotion and Declarations



Prayer before the Word: 

 _ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_ 



TODAY’S TOPIC: Downfall of a proud

Text: 1 King 20:17 -21 (NIV): 


"20:17. The young officers of the provincial commanders went out first. Now Ben-Hadad had dispatched scouts, who reported, "Men are advancing from Samaria."

20:18. He said, "If they have come out for peace, take them alive; if they have come out for war, take them alive."

20:19. The young officers of the provincial commanders marched out of the city with the army behind them

20:20. and each one struck down his opponent. At that, the Arameans fled, with the Israelites in pursuit. But Ben-Hadad king of Aram escaped on horseback with some of his horsemen.

20:21. The king of Israel advanced and overpowered the horses and chariots and inflicted heavy losses on the Arameans."



SHOWER (Reflection):

Proverb says the proud says to himself that there is no God. This best describes the situation here. If you study from the beginning of 1king 20:1 forward, you will see that the Israelites were on their when King Ben-hadad came threatening. At last, God put him to shame. Brethren, never lose faith or fear when the enemy is troubling you. Summon courage and contact God to find out from Him the solution. He would surely give you the victory.
