GodÕs Glory

1Sam. 17: 20-58

When David approached Goliath it was with burden. The burden was that of defilement that Goliath has brought to the people of God. When GodÕs children are defiled, His name is also defiled. 1Sam. 17:26 David Òasked who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?Ó As one that is called of God; as one that is enjoying the benefit of Calvary; as one that goes to church on a regular basis; as one that was raised to know to call on the name of God; is there anyway that you have been defying the name of the living God? Does it provoke you whenever you witness where the name of the living God is being defied? David took on Goliath not because of financial need; not because of any personal gain; He wanted the name of God to be glorified. He had an uncommon zeal to have GodÕs name elevated. God has no choice but to elevate David in an uncommon way. He became huge because GodÕs glory was huge to him. Forget self in all that you do. Give it up to God and He will not give up on you. He did not give up on David. This day, ask God to impart you with the zeal for his name.
