BE UPON YOU!

King David was a man who was humble before the Lord and who chose to trust God and God alone! Because of this, God’s anointing was upon him, 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 David had on his life is also for you. David accessed that favor through his spirit of humility and faith in God. Like David, all those who are humble and will trust God will see God act on their behalf! 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

Jesus told us that his kingdom is accessed by those who have the faith of a little child. Only a humble heart can believe God. Our greatest tenancy is to trust in our works or our abilities. You can be sure that before God’s favor comes upon a person’s life, they will be humble enough to believe God above anything else, and this is what truly honors God. David’s son, Solomon, said it like this:

The reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord brings instruction in Wisdom, and humility comes before honor. Proverbs 15:33 (AMP)

Proverbs 18:12 Before his downfall, a man’s heart is proud, but humility comes before honor.

Are you ready for more of God’s favor in your life? Remember, God is looking for a heart that is humble enough to relinquish all trust in self and that fully receives what God has said. My dear friend, my prayer for you today is that you will humbly receive God’s love and provision of righteousness for you today! I pray that you will believe God more than ever before and that, like King David, God’s will anointing will also…

BE UPON YOU!
