O Sovereign Lord

When preparing to write when my turn comes around for Thrive Today, I often struggle with narrowing down what I should write about. I have spent much time in prayer over the last week for the Lord to just use me to pen the words he wants to share. As you begin to read through these words take the time to feel His presence with you.

As I read through the book of 2 Samuel I was overwhelmed with the amount of battles and fighting going on. So much destruction of so many lives. I just kept wondering why this just couldn’t have been done another way? But also what I noticed was the amazing faithfulness that David had in God. David is much like you and I. David sinned, I sin. David didn’t always please God, I don’t always please God. David believed in who God is, I believe in who God is.

I think sometimes we forget that even though we may sin or someone else may sin, that doesn’t mean we don’t have faith or that we don’t believe in who God is. We forget that we still have a sinful nature and sometimes we are willing give into that nature. When that happens we move away from God.

Did you get that WE move away from God.

He doesn’t move~ we do! We choose to move. He waits right there for us to come to Him again. He loves us. He really wants you to
know that right now~ God loves you!

I enjoy the prayer that David has in 2 Samuel 7: 18-29,
take time to read it all, embrace it.

Here are random excerpts from that prayer with comments:
Who am I, O Sovereign Lord…
Who are we really? What is our value with out God?
For you know your servant.
God knows us personally; he knows your needs, your wants & your heart.
…according to your will, you have done this great thing and made it known to your servant…
God’s will~ allow it to be a part of your life.
God finds you important enough to let you in on things stop being clueless! Seek Him.
How great you are, O Sovereign Lord. There is no one like you and there is no God but you.
Stop moving- be still and know that He is God.
Spread the Word
