Genesis 42, 2 Samuel 5:1-5

There is an appointed time for everything and every situation that transpire under heaven. God alone is God; He is does not sleep nor slumber. Everything passes through God. He sees it all and none is out of His control. Your situation is not outside of God’s intervention. God alone has solutions in His hands. God resolves all unsolvable situations in life. Joseph’s brothers attempted to terminate Joseph’s dream when they sold him out at age seventeen. At age thirty, Joseph stood before Pharaoh King of Egypt. It was a ground where he was positioned for the manifestation of his dream. The dream that sent Joseph to slavery positioned him for the manifestation of the dream. The brothers of Joseph came to Joseph’s new ground where he was privileged to ask his brothers, “Is your father well…?” The bible recorded the response of his brothers who sold him to slavery to avoid bowing down before him. Genesis 43:28, “And they answered, “Your servant our father is in good health; he is still alive.” And they bowed their heads down and prostrated themselves.” God is always in absolute control of His plan over every creation.”

From the moment it became apparent to Saul that David was going to be king it was hell over the life of David in the hand of Saul. Saul chased David from valley to cave in attempt to terminate God’s agenda concerning David. The mountain that was before David, the one that King Saul created for him fell after Saul had died. David eventually became the king just as the Lord had planned for him to be. In spite of his challenges when the appointed time was there, nothing could possible relocate David to where God had not located him to be. The mountain that has refused to resolve itself and give way to your breakthrough will fall down at the Lord’s timing. 2 Samuel 5:4-5 recorded, “David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years. 5 In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.” The time David spent in running and hiding for his life by the hand of Saul was nothing to compare with the years that he spent reigning and ruling as God ordained. The mountain that refuses to fall will fall, the pain will go and the gain will come. God is true to His Word. King David prayed, “Be pleased O LORD, to deliver me; O LORD, make haste to help me! Let them be ashamed and brought to mutual confusion who seek to destroy my life; Let them be driven backward and brought to dishonor who wish me evil.” (Psalm 40:13-14) The Lord God answered and delivered King David.

Prayer for today: Ask for the grace to endure in your challenging times.
