“Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory!” – Psalm 24:10
Do you ever feel outnumbered? Overwhelmed by problems too big, too many, too strong to face alone? You’re not imagining the battle—but you may be forgetting the name. Jehovah Sabaoth, “The Lord of Hosts,” is the God of angel armies.
This title appears more than 270 times in Scripture and is often used when God’s people need courage in the face of conflict. Jehovah Sabaoth reminds us that we are never fighting alone. He commands all the armies of heaven. He is the sovereign commander of the seen and unseen.

When young David faced Goliath, he didn’t come in the strength of a slingshot—he came “in the name of the Lord of hosts” (1 Samuel 17:45). That’s the kind of faith we’re called to walk in today.
