1 Chron 11:1 All Israel came together to David at Hebron and said, “We are your own flesh and blood.”
Lord, Thank You for Your love and care, for the plans You have for us, which are so much greater than the plans we have for ourselves. Thank You for calling us out in faith. Help us to trust and obey, even when Your future looks so very different than what we planned.
1 Chron 11:2a “In the past, even while Saul was king, you were the one who led Israel on their military campaigns….”
Lord, Help us to keep our eyes, our minds, and our hearts on You. Help us not to care what the world thinks. When we look for accolades in this life, we are giving power to the world’s opinion, which isn’t what Your Kingdom work is about. Help us not to lose sight of that fact.
1 Chron 11:2b “…And the LORD your God said to you, ‘You will shepherd my people Isreal, and you will become their ruler.’”
Lord, Thank You for this day and this scripture. Thank You for seeing more in us than we see in ourselves. Help us to draw closer to You with every breath. Help us to shine Your Light. Amen.
1 Chron 11:3 When all the elders of Israel had come to King David at Hebron, he made a covenant with them at Hebron before the LORD, and they anointed David king over Israel, as the LORD had promised through Samuel.
Have a blessed day.
My faith, my life, my teaching–it's all a work in progress.
