THE PILGRIMS GUIDE
FRIDAY JULY 4, 2025
TRAINED FOR VICTORY
A WORD FROM THE WORD:
"But David said to Saul, 'Your servant has been keeping his father’s sheep. When a lion or a bear came and carried off a sheep from the flock, I went after it, struck it and rescued the sheep from its mouth. When it turned on me, I seized it by its hair, struck it and killed it.'" 1 Samuel 17:34-35 NIV.
The wilderness was a training ground for David. It was in the wilderness that David got exposed to mortal dangers, there he learnt how to slay lions and bears also.
It was there in the wilderness that David learnt to defend the sheep in his care; it was in the wilderness that David had his primary training as a man of war; it was in the same wilderness that David caught the revelation that birthed the famous Psalm 23.
The wilderness may have been uncomfortable and seemingly disadvantageous, nevertheless and more importantly, it was David’s training ground for his encounter with, and eventual triumph over Goliath, the Phillistines' champion.
The wilderness (of life) is a training ground for the individual Christian. It comes in diverse ways for God's children, uniquely designed by Heaven to meet you at the point of your specific requirements/needs. You may not like yours, but the life lessons you learn there will propel you to and sustain you on the top.
The lessons from your wilderness experience will become useful whenever any Goliath of life shows up.
The precepts of your wilderness experience will give you an advantage over those who have only known and operated from the comfort zone. Your wilderness experience will make you stronger, endue you with tenacity and singularity of purpose, it will make and not mar you.
Those around (including those who know) you, but do not understand God's dealings with you in your 'wilderness' might think it is a punishment or sign of rejection; but for those who understand, it is your training ground, a place of preparation for triumph after the trials.
PRAYER BULLETS:
ABBA Father, may my training by You in the wilderness of life never be in vain.
When You're done with me, O LORD, I will slay the Goliaths of life to Your glory.
FURTHER READING:
Psalm 18:34; 1 Kings 19:1-19; Mark 1:12-13; 2 Corinthians 4:7-10; 1 Samuel 16 & 17.
