Proverbs 18:10-11 (NLT)
10 The name of the LORD is a strong fortress; the godly run to him and are safe.
11 The rich think of their wealth as a strong defense; they imagine it to be a high wall of safety.
Observation:
Do you go to the place of the godly or the place of the wealthy? God has made you a free moral agent. You get to decide who you will follow. Notice what Jesus said; it's the season to listen to God speak.
Matthew 6:24 (NLT)
24 "No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
The God who created you is surely able to take care of you; to feed you, and protect you.
This God who loves you with an unfailing love will give you the wisdom that you need to make godly choices, and to live a godly life. Meditate upon what He did for David.
Psalm 73:23-26 (NLT)
23 Yet I still belong to you; you hold my right hand.
24 You guide me with your counsel, leading me to a glorious destiny.
25 Whom have I in heaven but you? I desire you more than anything on earth.
26 My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever.
There is more. Look at what He did for Solomon, David's son, and successor as King of Israel.
Proverbs 3:5-8 (NLT)
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.
6 Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.
7 Don't be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the LORD and turn away from evil.
8 Then you will have healing for your body and strength for your bones.
Prayer:
Father God, we humble ourselves in Your presence. Father, we unite our hearts together to join with David in singing praises to You; there is none like You.
Psalm 145:1-3 (NLT)
1 I will exalt you, my God and King, and praise your name forever and ever.
2 I will praise you every day; yes, I will praise you forever.
3 Great is the LORD! He is most worthy of praise! No one can measure his greatness.
Father God, we seek shelter under the cover of Your everlasting arms. We unite together in this prayer in the name of Jesus, we pray, Amen.
1 Samuel 3:10 (NLT)
10 And the LORD came and called as before, "Samuel! Samuel!" And Samuel replied, "Speak, your servant is listening."
