A
reminder for today
David
continued to succeed in everything he did, for the LORD was with him. (1 Samuel
18:14)
I guess success is something all of us seek and
eventually wants to see in our lives, whether it is at work or at home or maybe
it is in exercise. No matter what area in your live you dedicate time to, you
want to see results. David continued to humbly follow God and God was with him,
and this made David very successful and very popular.
My dear friend, I believe that without God we are
struggling in vein. When God is part of you and everything you do is to glorify
Him, success is automatically the result. When we follow God and seek His ways
we cannot go wrong. It is a natural stumbling block to desire more and more. This
is where greed and lust and all those tools that the enemy so easily uses to cause
our downfall comes into play and with that comes arrogance and self-idolising.
Saul’s own greed drove him to jealousy and hatred, but
David’s humble love for God made him successful. When God is for us, who can be
against us. When God moves in you there are no limits to what you are capable
of. When God is with you, you can do anything. My dad always said that if you
put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything. Today I know that if you put
your mind to it and your faith in God you can accomplish anything. There is
nothing that God cannot do through you and you must not forget that.
When
Saul realized that the LORD was with David and how much his daughter Michal
loved him, Saul became even more afraid of him, and he remained David's
enemy for the rest of his life. Every time the commanders of the Philistines
attacked, David was more successful against them than all the rest of Saul's
officers. So David's name became very famous. (Verse 28 – 30)
God is with you, my dear friend and that makes you
unstoppable. Don’t give up and don’t lose heart. Keep your eyes on God and
faithfully and patiently trust Him.
Have and awesome day dear friend of Jesus
Cheers
