Warriors Arise: August 21, 2022
1 Samuel 18:2 (NKJV) Saul took him that day, and would not let him go home to his father's house anymore.
Prior to David killing the Philistine, he had always been allowed to go home. He went to tend his sheep. But this action, killing the Philistine, had altered his life. He would not be returning to his father's house anymore. That can be a game changer for so many. If we knew walking out God's destiny for our life would mean we would not be allowed to return to our father's house anymore, would we still join God in the great exploit?
There are times we have an opportunity to walk in perfect sync with God. It will take us through seeing and being a part of the miraculous. It is pretty amazing to be a part of the miraculous. I can't imagine how life changed for the disciples when they saw with their own eyes the multiplication of the fishes and the loaves. They had to pick up the leftovers. Something would totally change within you as you saw the miraculous up close. There had to be a change within them.
David had been a part of a miracle and he had changed. It totally changed the trajectory of his life. He would not be returning to his father. God was taking over and positing him where he would be training for something different. His father, Jesse, could not train him to be king, but being up close and a part of Saul's family, David would see the role of a king.
If we knew what we would have to give up in order to walk out what God has for us, would we still walk with God?
It is difficult to give up family. David did not know if he would see his father again. We know the biblical history, but at the time, David did not know if he would see his father again. He did not know if God would be bringing them back together. This hits home with me as today is my last day to see my son for several months. I have trusted God to open the doors my son is to walk through in order for him to be in sync with God's plans for him. I realize my son could get a job while in school and not have the opportunity to join us at Christmas or even next summer. I must trust God. I must trust my son to walk with God, go through the doors He opens for him, and embrace the fullness of the opportunity he has before him this day and in the days to come. My heart's desire is that nothing would stop my son from embracing all God has for him. I pray I have taught him to have a deeper bond with God and the plans He has for him than his bond with us, his family. I pray he will know because of our love, he is free to go and step into all God has for him. I pray he will know we want him to walk in the fullness of what God has for him and that may mean we are no longer the ones who can prepare him for the future God has for him. He will need to be trained by those who can teach him everything he needs to be successful in what God has for him. I pray we are not the reason he stops walking in sync with God, but we are the reason he has the courage to walk in sync with God. I do not want to be the reason my son stops following the plans God has for him, I want to be the reason my son pursues all the plans God has for him.
Father, I come before You and bless my son. I bless him to embrace the plans You have for him. I bless my son to take courage in the love we have given him. I bless my son to walk in wisdom beyond his years. I bless my son to run with courage to overcome the obstacles that try to prevent him from being prepared for the destiny You have for him. I bless my son to pursue You without distractions. I bless my son to hear Your voice and respond with yes every time. I bless my son to know what Your amazing love that conquers all fear. I bless my son to be strengthened by Your involvement in His life. He will know You and walk with You. He will see You make a way for him that no man can prevent. I bless my son to allow no relationship to become greater than his relationship with You in Jesus' name amen.
