You think Christians need to side with either Muslims or Jews?
We stand alone with Christ and recognize Him as our King. Our allies are found within our own brethren such as the Catholics and Orthodox.
We share a kinship with all those that proclaim Christ is King.
Everyone else, is everyone else.
I've heard many times that what makes the story of King David so unique, is that there are no miracles in the account of his life.
And yet, as a 13 year old he was able to kill a war-lord giant with a sling and a stone.
As a young man he survived the pursuit of an entire army devoted solely to his death.
As King, he won countless wars despite being outnumbered, and he raised up a feared military force out of society's outcasts.
Yes, the Lord will fight your battles for you, but sometimes you are required to swing the sword.
Here lies the root of that great misconception about miracles in David's life, and in your own.
A miracle doesn't stop being one just because you have to work for it.
If it's true that you must bear the burden of responsibility and that you must bear the sword, then that burden demands that you prepare yourself to wield it.
The Lord may part the Red Sea, but you are still required to fight the war for the promise land.
Harden your body for the weight of the battle, prepare your mind for the arduous task and have your spirit be found in Christ and soaked in His Word.
Evil will come. Giants will need to be slain. Make ready to make war.
"Blessed be the Lord my Rock, Who trains my hands for war, And my fingers for battle—"
King David, Psalms 144:1
