Meditation 110
1 Samuel 17:20 (AMP) So David rose up
early next morning, left the sheep with a keeper, took the provisions, and
went, as Jesse had commanded him. And he came to the encampment as the host
going forth to the battleground shouted the battle cry.
There are times when you may feel life
on the Narrow Path has brought you to a lonely wilderness place where you are
living amid sheep (people) that do not understand your pursuit of God is the
most important thing in your life. They may point to the green grass or the
clear running stream and tell you to be satisfied with the provisions God has
given. They do not understand the importance of knowing God intimately, they
are satisfied with the things of this world.
But there comes a day when they will
have to face the Goliaths in their lives and because they do not know God, will
shrink back in fear from the battle. Experience in the ways of the world and
human strength cannot take you past what you consider insurmountable, but the
wisdom and strength that comes from relationship with God has no bounds. For
with God all things are possible.
It is not important that people
understand you or your pursuit of God. What is important is that you stay on
the Narrow Path and allow Holy Spirit to mold you inwardly into the image of
God so that when Goliath appears to challenge you or your brethren you will be
up to the task.
Ending
Thoughts
Stay on the path brethren God will
complete that which He has started in your life. There are people that need
Jesus and you to point the way to Him.
