*COMMENTARY*
Actually the war in this chapter can be compared to that of chapter 4:1-10, the Philistines made a mistake, it was God not just the ark that was in the midst or with the people of Israel.
The people cried out unto God through Samuel the prophet for an immediate help of refuge and deliverance, the people did not depend on their own strength or power to deliver them. Samuel made a sacrifice to God and God acted on their
behalf.
Where you seek solution and help from in times of trouble really matters a lot. Samuel's prayers and sacrifices to God gave them victory over their arch enemies. God is a mighty warrior, He has war tactics, and God can handle your life challenges if only you will cry to him for help.
Many times in life when issues arise, we think they are for our doom, but whereas some of them have occurred for God's name to be glorified. When we see the text, God used that situation to subdue the enemies of the Israelites, so also God can use some situations to silent and subdue the issues surrounding our lives. God can use issues and challenges to recover some lost virtues to us especially when we engage in prayer. God is our defender He will fight for us.

🎚 *CONTROLLING THOUGHTS*
God can fight for us, our faith in him determines how far He will go with us.
🙏🏿 *PRAYER*
My heavenly Father, fight for me in the battles of life and help me subdue my enemies. In the name of Yeshua, the Christ.
