“David grew greater and greater, because Adonai-Tzva’ot was with him.”
1 Chronicles 11:9 CJB

The reason David grew greater and greater is because the LORD was with him! It wasn’t because he had special skills or a deeper knowledge, it was simply because the LORD was with him! The same goes for us, the LORD is with us and anything that is great is because of the LORD!

“0Great is Adonai and greatly to be praised; His greatness is beyond all searching out.”

Know that we need to repent of our sins, but we need to be careful of trying to point out someone else! The LORD will deal with them, if a ministry is fleecing, a politician stealing or someone is just lying, it’s not up to us to straighten them out! Remember, the LORD doesn’t need our help to point things out! What we need to do is pray!

Today, let’s get serious about our responsibility to share the Good News of Salvation! The times we are living in makes sharing much more urgent as we see the world rapidly falling apart!
Have a blessed day sharing the Salvation of the LORD!
