Devotional
So, beloved, when the issues of life make you sour and try to limit you, be reminded that you’re unstoppable and you were made for more. Maybe the story of the young David will encourage and motivate you. In 1 Samuel 17, Saul was the leader of Israel. 40 days a giant named Goliath came out in the morning and the evening to challenge the Israelites. His size and strength coupled with his intimidating threats paralyzed the Israeli army. That is until the young David showed up to bring lunch to his brothers. When he heard the insults from Goliath, he said to Saul in 1 Samuel 17:32,
Key Scripture
Let no one lose heart on account of this Philistine; your servant will go and fight him.1 Sam 17:32 NIV
Refreshing for the Day
And immediately something rose up on the inside of David, and he exclaimed, “Who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God”? He went out to face Goliath, and with just a stone and a slingshot, he brought him dead on the ground (1 Sam 17:49). You see, David understood he was made for more. He didn’t allow the threat of the enemy to sink and limit the greatness in him. And so, he could achieve what Saul and his armies couldn’t achieve. So, beloved, when you understand who you are, and that you were made for more and begin to declare it over and manifest it in your life, you’re going to step into a new boldness, confidence, and increase that you could never imagine. Stay Refreshed!
