I have so many favourites in the Bible, and one of them is the legend called David.
I particularly love David because the scripture gives us a lot of perspective on his life, we see his journey - from being the forgotten child to becoming the standard of kingship in Israel.
How does a man’s life change overnight?
How is it that in one moment, the man is living a life of dejection and the very next moment, He is brought into prominence.
How did this little shepherd boy become King and not just any king, but the king God was really pleased with?
The answer is intimacy! Can we study intimacy with God and not find the story of David as a major resource?
From The Book of Psalms, you see a man who considered God dear to Him, a man who had a genuine relationship with the Lord.
Whatever season David was in, one thing that remained constant about His life was His relationship with God.
Whether He was being a shepherd boy, an unloved son and brother, a destitute, a king, a servant.
Little wonder, He was remembered, although everyone had forgotten Him when they were anointing the sons of Jesse, the One He was living His life for did not forget Him.
It is your intimacy with God that helps you get remembered in rooms that matter.
Don't play with prayer, don't joke with your fellowship with God.
Too many things happen at the back-end of your life and just spending time with God does you more good than you can ever imagine.
Choose to spend time with God today.
I am cheering you on.
Love always 🤍
