1 Samuel 17:37 KJV
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.
David was before the king, Saul. King Saul wanted to know if he had experience before he gave a go ahead for him to fight Goliath and David began to remember.
David remembered when he had to confront a lion and how the LORD was with him. He remembered how he was to confront a bear and the LORD was with him.
David could have decided to boast in his strength, skill and ability but he remembered that the battles he fought and the victories he won was based off on the presence of the power of God.
When you are about to boast on your intelligence, remember that in that exam you wrote, you did not really have understanding, it was the Lord that began to give you clarity.
Just before you boast on your business and management skills, remember that it was the Lord that brought staffers of repute and integrity to assist you to build that business.
Just before you boast about how you keep a nutritious diet, remember that it was the Lord that saved you from sicknesses even when you could have been diagnosed.
Just before you boast about your network and contact, remember it was the Lord that brings men to men.
When you remember the God that delivered you from the lion and the bear, that same God will help you defeat Goliath.
Never take the credit for the lion and the bear and move in that arrogance to meet Goliath.
A man that is a conqueror conquers because GOD IS WITH HIM!
Before the battle, hand it over to God, after the victory, sound an alarm that IT WAS GOD!
This is how to permanently have a victorious life!
Till we arrive at the point of the full manifestation of what God has said concerning us, we will continue to share some of these things as we journey.
