Today’s Devotion
Topic: He Will Ensure Your Safety And Success!
Text: 2 Samuel 23: 5 (NLT)
5 “Is it not my family God has chosen? Yes, He has made an everlasting covenant with me.
His agreement is arranged and guaranteed in every detail. He will ensure my safety and success. AMEN
King David walked with the Lord to the end. Yes it is true he made some mistakes here and there but he was always quick to repent and come back to God for pardon and restoration.
One thing so unique about David was that he tried to understand to a large extent who God is and gave Him His due as Sovereign. He valued every act of God towards Him especially the relation or covenant between them.
He knew he was chosen to be king and that there was a covenant that establishes he and his descendants as kings forever. He reminded God of this everlasting covenant each time his position as king was threatened. He taught his son Solomon to do same. That covenant was to ensure his safety and success as a “chosen” of the Lord.
Precious One, today being the first working day of the week means some of us may not necessarily be motivated for work or school yet. Often we feel tired and lazy. But like David, encourage yourself by remembering how special you are in the sight of God and the many blessings in Him to take once you step out in faith to be who God has chosen you to be.
Claim it for yourself where the king (David) says; “Is it not my family God has chosen? Yes, He has made an everlasting covenant with me. His agreement is arranged and guaranteed in every detail. He will ensure my safety and success. ”
Indeed you are chosen. Many are called but you and your family are chosen by God. Chosen for His purpose; chosen as His vessels of honor, chosen for signs and wonders, chosen for His glory and chosen to be in Christ for eternity.
God has an everlasting covenant with you also. Through the blood of Christ, His agreement to be your God is arranged and guaranteed in every detail. Every blessing and benefit concerning this special covenant is detailed in His word as your reminder.
If only you will honor your part of the covenant by walking with Him in love and faith, then HE (HIMSELF) WILL ENSURE YOUR SAFETY AND SUCCESS IN ALL THAT YOU DO. Rise up therefore, shake off all the laziness and excuses. There is so much excellence and success awaiting you in the day, settle for nothing less.
Begin to pray now. Commit the week into God’s hand. Humbly remind God of His covenant to ensure your safety and succes; and watch Him go beyond your request to give success to all other family members and dear ones who are close to your heart too. He never fails, see you at the top!
