BE WITH YOU?
King David was a man who was humble before the Lord and who chose to trust God and God alone! Because of this, he was anointed of God and the hand of the Lord was with him mightily!
2 Samuel 5:10 And he (David) became more and more powerful, because the Lord God Almighty was with him.
The favor of God is for you, but it does not come without the spirit of humility and absolute trust in God. When you are willing and submitted, God will grant amazing requests! Look at this:
1 Chronicles 4:9-10 There was a man named Jabez who was more honorable than any of his brothers. His mother named him Jabez because his birth had been so painful. He was the one who prayed to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless me and expand my territory! Please be with me in all that I do and keep me from all trouble and pain!” And God granted him his request.
The most honoring thing we can do for God is to believe him! "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." Heb 11:6
There is something about humility and faith that not only please God but bring about his favor and blessing! Before the favor of God comes upon a person’s life, they will be humble enough to believe God above anything else and this is what truly honors God and brings honor to the one believing. David’s son, Solomon says it like this:
The reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord brings instruction in Wisdom, and humility comes before honor. Proverbs 15:33 (AMP)
Before his downfall a man's heart is proud, but humility comes before honor. Proverbs 18:12
Are you ready for more in your life? The spirit of humility and faith in God must become your way of life! If you are willing, God is ready! Remember, the humility that God is looking for is the heart that will relinquish its trust in itself to receive what God has said is true, reliable and trustworthy! My prayer for you today is that you will humbly declare that what God has said is in fact, the truth, and that you will trust him above all else! As you do, you can be sure God’s favor and blessing will...
