Give the LORD His Due

Give the LORD His Due

I Samuel 17:37 David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee.

By all accounts, the young David seemed to brag on the successes he had as a shepherd boy.  However, when we take a deeper look at Him, we see that he was quick to acknowledge that it was the LORD that delivered him from danger.  Because he had personal knowledge of, and experiences with the LORD, he was not weak in faith.  When you pause to think about and talk about how God has delivered you from your enemies’ paws, then your faith will increase, and you will be able to brag on the LORD.  You will be keenly aware that nothing will be able to stand against you and win.  God will always get the victory, for it is not by your power or your might (strength) but by the Spirit of the LORD of Heaven’s Armies that deliverance and victory prevails in your life.  The credit belongs to the LORD.

Whatever you must do today, there is a grace for that.  Accept his grace and make it a sweatless day.
