“Moreover David said, “The Lord, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” And Saul said to David, “Go, and the Lord be with you!””
I Samuel 17:37
When you have faith and listen to God you can do anything the Lord leads you to do as David did by slaying Goliath!
“And Samuel said to Saul, “You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of the Lord your God, which He commanded you. For now the Lord would have established your kingdom over Israel forever.”
I Samuel 13:13
There are always consequences for sin! Learn this and be obedient to God! Keep his word!

“I cling to you; your right hand upholds me.”
Psalms 63:8
For the follower of Jesus this verse is so important. We cling to Him as He is the answer to all. The right hand is a sign for power and He is all powerful. That power holds us up!!! Thank you Lord!
Chew on that today!

“In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.”
Judges 17:6
Sadly in our day it is still happening…doing what is right in own eyes instead of God’s eyes!!!
Obey God not self!

“So Manoah took the young goat with the grain offering, and offered it upon the rock to the Lord. And He did a wondrous thing while Manoah and his wife looked on— it happened as the flame went up toward heaven from the altar—the Angel of the Lord ascended in the flame of the altar! When Manoah and his wife saw this, they fell on their faces to the ground. When the Angel of the Lord appeared no more to Manoah and his wife, then Manoah knew that He was the Angel of the Lord.”
Judges 13:19-21
Ever notice how many people who have an encounter with Lord end up on their faces in worship?
When we see Jesus for the first time where do you think we will end up? On our faces in worship!!!

“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.”
James 1:22
Pretty simple…don’t just listen to or read the word! Follow it up with obedience! Do it!!!

“And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they reverted and behaved more corruptly than their fathers, by following other gods, to serve them and bow down to them. They did not cease from their own doings nor from their stubborn way.”
Judges 2:19
Israel was do hard headed! God showed them over and over again love, mercy, grace, and forgiveness but they continued to disobey? Why oh why? Why do we seem to do the same thing? It is a costly thing to do!
