WHAT WILL GOD DO?
1 Samuel 22:1-5

Who could have thought that David, a man after God’s own heart, a man that delivered the whole nation from the embarrassment of Goliath would run from his country like a fugitive? David, after having been anointed by Samuel as the King, went further and killed Goliath. David became a national celebrity that the whole nation embraced. Despite David status as a celebrity, when King Saul turned against him and went after his life there was none among the well and able among the population that could back him up or rendered support. It is written in 1 Samuel 22:2, “And everyone who was in distress, everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented gathered to him. So he became captain over them. And there were about four hundred men with him.” David the celebrated champion of the whole nation only had the relegated ones among his people backing him up. It does not take forever for the enemy to present it self any where God is present. However, it will only take the hand of God, by virtue of His presence to make His own prevail and be victorious. Whatever has become of you that which is of great pain, that has moved you from your ground of celebration and that is contradictory to the promise of God for your life will not prevail over your life. David, ordained by God had no other choice to run for his life. David ran from plain to plain and from valley to valley. In the course of his running for his life there was no documentation of him complaining to God. Despite the fact that he had been ordained by God, he always went back to God to find out what the Lord will do. Once during his flight the Bible pointed out his character of waiting. 1 Samuel 22:3-4, “Then David went from there to Mizpah of Moab; and he said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and mother come here with you, till I know what God will do for me.”The point here is David’s character of waiting on God for what the Lord God will do. As a king in the hand of God, he refused to assume what the Lord will do or what the Lord could do. Today, be rest assured that the Lord God that you serve is mindful of how you situation have turned out to be. He that has brought you this far, unto where you are is not asleep and neither has He went to slumber. Keep your focus, take every day at a time and remain in the walk of His word. God will see you through, and He will get you to where He has promised you just like David.
Prayer for today: My God and my Father I ask for the grace of enablement that will keep me from every form of distractions that terminates man’s journey.
