Today's E-Votion

The Victory
(continued)

2 Samuel 8:14
He put garrisons throughout Edom, and all the Edomites became subject to David. The LORD gave David victory wherever he went.

-----------------------------------

OK.  David was on a roll here.  It seemed he could do no wrong.  As an old Christian saying goes, "He was in the Center of the LORD'S Will!"  Have you ever been there?  I hope you have, and maybe you are now.

It's like driving a car on a new road.  Everything is smooth, safe, comfortable and exciting.

But to be perfectly honest, there was a "wilderness experience" on both sides of David's Center Experience.  As a young man, he was sort of an outcast of his family.  He was the one who had to stay in the pastures with the sheep.  He was exposed to lions, bears, extreme heat and extreme cold . . . .  and loneliness.

Then after a few great victories, he was persecuted by the King of Israel, forced to live in caves and was hunted like a wild beast.

At the end of his streak of victories, he made a wrong turn on the new road and hit the bumpy old dirt path, so to speak.  So it was, that he had to depend on the grace and mercy of the LORD once again, to sustain himself.

The point of it all, David's life is much like our own.  He withstood persecution, he walked in tremendous victory, he made bad choices that had very difficult consequences.  But, if you carefully read the accounts of his life, you find that in every circumstance, his hope, his help, his happiness . . . .   always came from his relationship with his GOD!

What a picture of the present day follower of JESUS!  No matter what part of the Path you are on, it is meant by GOD for you to cling to HIMHE purposes Victory for us, no matter what road we are on!

JESUS Never Fails!
