Indeed I have kept alert to God's ways

Indeed I have kept alert to God's ways

Reference- 2 Samuel 22:1-4, 7, 20-22 MSG

David prayed these words to God in song after being saved from all his enemies and from Saul. They can be our words too, as we praise Him for what He has done and for the things He is still working on for our good.

Many times, we don’t fully trust the Lord or surrender every part of our lives to Him. We need to be honest, without hypocrisy, and approach Him with openness from the heart. We often have our own reasons for not aligning with Him, and it’s easy to make excuses, but it’s far better to depend on Him.  

David’s life was a true testament—God delivered him from his enemies and from Saul, through both small and great challenges. Yesterday, today, and forever, He saves us. In every season, in every place, in every situation, and under all conditions, God is good. His mercies endure forever, at all times. Hallelujah.

There are seven declarations I’ve repeated many times (there are plenty more in this single chapter, so let’s dig deeper when time permits).
  1. God stuck by me when I was down.
  2. God made my life completed when I places all pieces before Him.
  3. God gave me a fresh start when I cleaned up my act.
  4. God re-wrote the text of my life when I opened my heart to His eyes.
  5. Indeed, I have kept alert to God's ways.
  6. Indeed, I have not taken God for Granted.
  7. Indeed, I review the ways He works.
No wonder David chose to keep Yhwh as his top priority. The Lord described David as a man after His own heart—a remarkable honour to receive. There’s so much we can learn from his life, using those insights to explore and experience God’s ways and reflect on how He works within us.

Dear Father, David said that my God is my rock, my fortress, my deliverer, my shield, my salvation, my stronghold, my refuge, my mighty rock, my powerful weapon, my shelter. We also declare now that You are our solid rock beneath our feet, our castle where we dwell, our rescuing knight, our builder, our hideout, our protection, our Power, our place of safety, our high ridge, rocky summit, and towering stronghold. You are our trust, our refreshment, our defense, and our refuge. We praise You, O Lord, for You are worthy to be praised! The Lord should be praised! You are worthy of all our praises! In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London

Elisha Passed the Test

Elisha Passed the Test Ref 2 Kg 2:1-14 This scripture tells of the transitional journey Elijah and Elisha shared—walking and talking together. There was a push and pull, but in the end, determination prevailed. What are we willing to cross over for? If you asked Elisha, he would say everything, with all his might. He had watched Elijah closely over the years, never panicking but following with God’s peace alongside his master. Even when Elijah asked him to stay behind while he ran an errand as instructed by God, he refused to leave his side. He remained determined, persistent, loyal, collaborative, and eagerly anticipating this moment. In various significant places, such as the pushback, Gilgal (rolling away our shame), Bethel (where God is revealed), Jericho (walls falling), and the Jordan (crossing over), each holds its own unique meaning. We can relate these moments to our lives and give thanks to God for guiding us through overcoming Gilgal, experiencing Bethel, witnessing the fall...
