After the Lord miraculously delivered the people of Israel out of bondage in Egypt, they were slowly making their way through the wilderness toward the Promised Land. Unexpectedly, they encountered trouble along the way. They were attacked by the Amalekites, desert nomads dwelling in the northern Negev and descendants of Esau. This was their first fight, but it would not be their last.As we review this ancient conflict and how they engaged with their enemy, we will learn truths that will prove beneficial for our contemporary encounters with a foe called the flesh, the old sin nature. In some ways, our fiercest battles in life are really struggles with the "old self” (Eph. 4:17-23; Col. 3:5-10). Christ can give us victory, but it will require faith in Him and a fight marked by effort, tenacity and vigilance on our part. Let’s see what we can learn from Exodus 17:8-16. Let's study their first fight with Amalek so that we will be ready for our next fight with the flesh.Warning of an Attack, 17:8-9Warriors within the Army, 17:9Willingness to Go against the Adversary, 17:10Without the Ally and the Alliance, 17:10-11Weariness of the Arms, 17:12Winning over Amalek (or the Weapon of Our Assault), 17:13Writing of This Account, 17:14Worship at the Altar, 17:15-16---Growing in Grace Devotions and Inspirations  Hosted by Pastor Victor Morrison  First Baptist Church1700 Milam StreetColumbus, TX, USA 78934http://fbccolumbustx.org/
