    Benediction * Postlude Job 2: 2-3 And the Lord said to Satan, "From
    where do you come?" Satan answered the Lord and said, "From going to
    and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it." Then the
    Lord said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job, that there is
    none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears
    God and shuns evil? And still he holds fast to his integrity, although
    you incited Me against him, to destroy him without cause." Matthew 4:
    8-11 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and
    showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said
    to Him, "All these things I will give You if You will fall down and
    worship me." Then Jesus said to him, "Away with you, Satan! For it is
    written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall
    serve.'" Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and
    ministered to Him.

    Ephesians 6:10-17 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in
    the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be
    able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle
    against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers,
    against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual
    hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the
    whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day,
    and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your
    waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and
    having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
    above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to
    quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of
    salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

    Judges 16:4-6 After this Samson loved a woman in the valley of Sorek,
    whose name was Delilah. The lords of the Philistines came up to her
    and said to her, "Seduce him, and see where his great strength lies,
    and by what means we may overpower him, that we may bind him to humble
    him. And we will each give you 1,100 pieces of silver." So Delilah
    said to Samson, "Please tell me where your great strength lies, and
    how you might be bound, that one could subdue you."

    I Samuel 16 & 17 (select verses) Thus Jesse made seven of his sons
    pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, "The LORD has not chosen
    these." And Samuel said to Jesse, "Are all the young men here?" Then
    he said, "There remains yet the youngest, and there he is, keeping the
    sheep." And Samuel said to Jesse, "Send and bring him. For we will not
    sit down till he comes here." So he sent and brought him in. Now
    (David) was ruddy, with bright eyes, and good-looking. And the LORD
    said, "Arise, anoint him; for this is the one!" Then Samuel took the
    horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the
    Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. … So David
    rose early in the morning, … and he came to the camp as the army was
    going out to the fight and shouting for the battle. … Then as he
    talked with (his brothers), there was the champion, the Philistine of
    Gath, Goliath by name, coming up from the armies of the Philistines;
    and he spoke according to the same words. So David heard them. …
    Then David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, "What shall be
    done for the man who kills this Philistine and takes away the reproach
    from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should
    defy the armies of the living God?" Now when the words which David
    spoke were heard, they reported them to Saul; and he sent for him.
    Then David said to Saul, "Let no man's heart fail because of him; your
    servant will go and fight with this Philistine." And Saul said to
    David, "You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with
    him; for you are a youth, and he a man of war from his youth." But
    David said to Saul, …"Your servant has killed both lion and bear;
    and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, seeing he
    has defied the armies of the living God." Moreover David said, "The
    LORD, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of
    the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine." And
    Saul said to David, "Go, and the LORD be with you!" So Saul clothed
    David with his armor, and he put a bronze helmet on his head; he also
    clothed him with a coat of mail. David fastened his sword to his armor
    and tried to walk, for he had not tested them. And David said to Saul,
    "I cannot walk with these, for I have not tested them." So David took
    them off. Then he took his staff in his hand; and he chose for himself
    five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag,
    in a pouch which he had, and his sling was in his hand. And he drew
    near to the Philistine. So the Philistine came, and began drawing near
    to David, and the man who bore the shield went before him. And when
    the Philistine looked about and saw David, he disdained him; for he
    was only a youth, ruddy and good-looking. So the Philistine said to
    David, "Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?" And the
    Philistine cursed David by his gods. And the Philistine said to David,
    "Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and
    the beasts of the field!" Then David said to the Philistine, "You come
    to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to
    you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel,
    whom you have defied. This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand,
    and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will
    give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the
    air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that
    there is a God in Israel. Then all this assembly shall know that the
    LORD does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the LORD'S,
    and He will give you into our hands." …Then David put his hand in
    his bag and took out a stone; and he slung it and struck the
    Philistine in his forehead, so that the stone sank into his forehead,
    and he fell on his face to the earth. So David prevailed over the
    Philistine with a sling and a stone, and struck the Philistine and
    killed him. But there was no sword in the hand of David. Therefore
    David ran and stood over the Philistine, took his sword and drew it
    out of its sheath and killed him, and cut off his head with it. And
    when the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled. Now
    the men of Israel and Judah arose and shouted, and pursued the
    Philistines as far as the entrance of the valley and to the gates of
    Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell along the road to
    Shaaraim, even as far as Gath and Ekron. Then the children of Israel
    returned from chasing the Philistines, and they plundered their tents.
    And David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem,
    but he put his armor in his tent.
