Everybody wants a testimony—not too many are willing to pay the price to get it! Shammah, one of King David’s three mightiest men, was the exception. He stood his ground when no one else thought that would be the wise thing to do. He fought when everybody else fled. He risked his life when the odds were not in his favor. He reached down into his reservoir of courage when there was no outside encouragement. And through this one man standing his ground in the middle of a field against a Philistine army, God brought about a great victory for Israel—and a testimony was born. Where do you need to stand your ground today? Maybe this is your day to write a great testimony!

“ When the Israelite army fled, Shammah held his ground in the middle of the field and beat back the Philistines. So the Lord brought about a great victory.

—2 SAMUEL 23:12

A Simple Prayer for Heroic Faith:

God, today I want you to use me to bring about a great victory. I want to stand firm against enemy attack. I was to be fearless in the face of every foe. I want to hold my ground and defend the territory that is rightfully mine as a child of God. Like Shammah, I pray that you will give me the courage to stand my ground in the middle of my field against my Philistines and fight. Please give me the resolve to live heroic faith today—and through my courage, cause a testimony to be born!
