THE MAKING OF A WINNER

THE MAKING OF A WINNER

It is natural for most people to want to be a winner

in one way or another.  There are ways that most of

us could care less about whether we win or lose.

But how can I be a winner in life it's self?

How can I have God's blessing on all I do?

One of the winners in God's book was King David.

God Himself said of David,

"But God removed Saul and replaced him with

David, a man about whom God said, ' I have

found David son of Jesse, a man after my own

heart.  He will do everything I want him to do."

(Acts 13:22 NLT)

And,

"David continued to succeed in everything he

did, for the LORD was with him."

(1 Samuel 18:14 NLT). 

Now there is where I want to be.

But how?

The last few days I have been reading in 1st and

2nd Samuel.  In there is the key as to why David

always had God's help.

Everything, David did, he first asked God what he

wanted him to do.  It did not matter whether it was 

do you want me to go to battle, or, where do you want

me to live, or whatever.  It was always asking God what

he was to do.  It was to ask for God's direction in every

facet of life.

Yes, we all know that David failed miserably at one 

point in his life.  But we also know that he did not

seek the will of God in the matter.

Much of our problem today is that we make up our

mind as to what we want to do.  Then, we seek God's

blessing on it.  That is going about it backward.

God help me to seek your will on EVERY matter of

my life.
