September 8 – 2 Samuel 8:13-14

September 8 – 2 Samuel 8:13-14

 

[13] And David made a name for himself when he returned from striking down 18,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt. [14] Then he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom he put garrisons, and all the Edomites became David’s servants. And the LORD gave victory to David wherever he went.

 

“And the Lord gave victory to David wherever he went.”  How amazing is this?  You might say to yourself, “but, I’m not David and I’m not feeling victories in every area of my life and wherever I go”.  You’re correct, you are not David and challenges of this life sometimes wear us down; leave us feeling defeated, depressed or even hopeless.  Do not forget, you are a son or daughter of the king.  If you’ve accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior, you are an heir of Christ with every benefit and astounding amazement that eternal life with Jesus will bring you is your inheritance.  Remember this home/life is temporary and eternal life with Christ awaits us.  Jesus said, “In this world you will have troubles, but take heart, I have overcome the world” - John 16:33.  This is God’s promise to you.  Claim this victory through the power of the Holy Spirit and pray that you’ll remain in faith, trust and faithfulness.
