HUMBLY OBEDIENT
READ 2 SAMUEL 22:1 THROUGH 24:25; LUKE 16:1-18
How should true believers be remembered?
The author of 2 Samuel didn’t remember King David as being perfect. David committed sins. He even disobeyed God by taking a census of eligible fighting men in Israel. Yet David always repented when God convicted him. For this reason, David is remembered for his humility. He acknowledged that the good things he achieved were only accomplished through God’s power.
“It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure. He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; He causes me to stand on the heights” (2 Samuel 22:33–34).
Today’s believers should follow David’s example through humble submission and by looking to God for strength. When Christians are willing to follow the Spirit’s leading, He will make their way secure and cause them to stand on the heights of God’s power. Then, like David, they will be remembered for glorifying God by humbly doing His work on the earth.
Challenge for Today: Humbly bow to the one who calls you His own. Allow His Spirit to lead you.
