More than a Conqueror

The size of your enemy is a measure of the size of God’s confidence in your ability to overcome.

Finding Favor with the King, p. 130

Scripture Reading
1Samuel 17:1-51, tells how David, armed with a sling, five stones and the anointing of God, defeated and killed Goliath, a giant Philistine warrior.

God sees potential everybody else misses.

Take David for example. Who would have thought that a shepherd boy from Bethlehem could bring down a professional soldier nearly twice his height? Or, for that matter, could become a king who would lead his nation to greatness? God did . When God looked at David He looked beyond the shepherd and saw the heart of a warrior and a king. God knew the potential for greatness that was in David. After all, He had put it there.

Not even Jesse, David’s father, recognized the potential in his youngest son. When Samuel arrived to anoint one of Jesse’s sons as king of Israel , Jesse did not even call David in from the fields to be in the lineup. One by one the Lord rejected David’s older brothers, saying, “For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” Finally, David was called before Samuel. “And the Lord said, ‘Arise, anoint him; for this is the one!’”

Not long after this God began to elevate David toward his destiny. He brought David face-to-face with a formidable enemy. With the soldiers of two opposing armies as witnesses, David brought down Goliath with a single stone from his sling. David succeeded because he knew where his power came from. Just before this battle he told King Saul, “The Lord, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” God was confident of David’s ability to overcome because He knew that David would not trust in his own strength.

God sees great potential in you too. God knows what you can handle because He knows what He has placed inside you. The more you align your life to God’s purpose the more He will begin moving you toward your destiny.

Remember that new levels bring new devils. Don’t fear the obstacles and challenges that lie before you. Don’t fret over the apparent size and strength of your enemies. They merely reflect God’s confidence in your ability to overcome— in His power . Trust the Lord. He will match your character and strength to the challenges you face. He will make you more than a conqueror!

Prayer: Father, I want to fulfill my destiny. Build in me character and faith equal to the challenges I must face along the way.

Wait for the Best

Wait for the Best

Don't flirt with lower lovers—save yourself for the King.
Finding Favor with the King, p. 86

Scripture Reading
First Corinthians 6: 15-20, our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. We are to glorify God in our bodies and our spirits, which belong to Him.
Wait for the best .

In recent years the nationwide “True Love Waits” campaign has inspired thousands of young people to pledge to remain sexually pure until marriage. Sexual purity is a major moral and social issue in our culture today. Aside from preventing unwed pregnancies and sexually-transmitted diseases, abstinence also spares young people the moral guilt associated with inappropriate sexual activity.

Paul said, “Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.” We have physical, moral and spiritual reasons to remain sexually pure. It is important to save ourselves for the marriage partner to whom we will commit ourselves for life.

As Christians, we are also to save ourselves for our King. In this sense, however, we are not talking about sexual purity but spiritual purity. We are to love and commit ourselves to God alone. He deserves and demands our undivided faithfulness. This is what Paul is saying in the next couple of verses: “Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's .”

Throughout the Bible, and particularly in the Old Testament, unfaithfulness to God is called spiritual adultery . Being spiritually unfaithful is as great an offense to God as being sexually unfaithful is to a spouse. God said, “You shall have no other gods before Me.” Jesus provided additional insight when He said, “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”

Everywhere you go you are surrounded by voices and influences that tempt you to trade your faithfulness to God for some lesser pleasures. These may appear quite alluring and appealing at the time, but don't be fooled. Whenever you “flirt with lower lovers” you end up disappointed because they never deliver what they promise. You were created for the King, He alone will satisfy your deepest longings and desires.

Don't trade your future joy and fulfillment for lesser pleasures now. Wait for the best. Save yourself for the King. Commit yourself completely to the Lord who loves you and gave Himself for you. The world will entice you with many things but only the King will satisfy. Don't settle for lower lovers. Wait for the best!

Prayer: Lord, when the things of the world tempt me to stray, help me remember that You alone satisfy. I want to be completely Yours. You are the best, and I will wait for You. I will wait for the Prince you have for me your princes. Clothe me with strength and purity that I might not be shaken nor moved for what you don't call it for me. Amen
