While reading the life pursuits of David, the famous King of Israel, I am inspired to grow deeper in my relationship with God. David’s amazing life is summarized with the following sentence from the Bible, “So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went” (2 Samuel 8:6 NLT).
What was the secret to David’s victorious life of faith? Can you and I experience a similar victorious lifestyle today? What can you and I learn from David and his faith, so that we like him can go from victory to victory in life?
Possibly the answer to the above questions can be found in a Psalm that David wrote at about the same time that he was experiencing great victory. David wrote, “The LORD is close to all who call on him, yes, to all who call on him in truth. He grants the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cries for help and rescues them. The LORD protects all those who love him." (Psalm 145:18-20 NLT).
It appears that the reason the LORD continually granted David victory, was that David (although not perfect … read 2 Samuel 11-12) humbly sought God’s direction in his life by repeatedly asking for the LORD’s direction, protection, and blessing in his life.
Will you join me in humbly asking the LORD for his help?
