The Lord Brings It

Scripture 1 Sam 19:5 For he took his life in his hands and killed the Philistine, and the LORD brought about a great deliverance for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood, to kill David without a cause?”

Observation: No matter what we think we did the Lord has done it through us and He deserves the glory. What a joy it is to be used by God, the best moments of my life are those times. God allowed me to speak in front of people sharing my testimony and helping others, I’ve been part of dinners for those in need, prayed with some that needed to hear from God and was able to give counsel to those who suffered from depression. Each time I know it wasn’t me accomplishing those things, but the Holy Spirit working through me. Like David we only need to take our life in our hands and give it to God to work whatever He desires.

Application: Like David I need to step out more and not fearfully, but expectedly that God will use me. I don’t have to have all the answers but to be sure I’m where God wants me to be, doing what He has called me to do. I tell people we don’t have a Pizza Hut God you have to go out and get your blessings, He’s not going to deliver them while you’re sitting on your couch. I need to take my own advice and get off my butt and make a better effort of making myself available to my Master.

Prayer: Dear Lord here I am, please use me to do something extraordinary, because when others see it they will know that it is you and not me. Make this life mean something to others that they will see your works by your servant. Use me Lord I freely give you this life as a living sacrifice, may it be holy and pleasing to you..
