The ‘give and take’ between David and the Lord fascinated me. Yes, David was successful. It seems everything that he put his hand to, every battle he faced, turned out well. God was certainly with him and verse 14 confirms this. The LORD gave David victory wherever he went.
But what spoke to me was how careful David was to remember that the Lord was the one giving him victory so he constantly dedicated his victory spoils to the Lord. King David dedicated these articles to the LORD, as he had done with the silver and gold from all the nations he had subdued… (11).
David truly lived with and for the Lord!
With the Lord… David seems to maintain a constant connection with God.
For the Lord… David’s heart delighted in giving God the glory.
Living with and for the Lord…
Oh, God, may that be a comment that is said when my life draws to a close! With and for You, Jesus. With and for You, Father. With and for You, Spirit… I pray that this is how I live… with and for You. Amen.
