David stationed garrisons in Edom, and all the people of Edom became subject to him. Adonai gave victory to David wherever he went.”

Like David, we may want to accomplish or build something, but God has a plan for someone else to do it! That doesn’t mean that we can’t prepare the way for that someone else and be watching for that situation! Also let’s prepare our children to take over! We always need to be watching and praying!
