Love God Greatly - DavidNäide

SOAP: Psalm 78:70-72 David learned to lead in obscurity. He was faithful to tend to sheep while no one noticed, but God never misses a thing. David’s faithfulness and integrity were rewarded, and his territory increased from the sheepfold to the kingdom. Are you facing a giant today? The battle is the Lord’s. He stands with you on the front lines and will defend your righteous cause. He never forgets those who choose to quietly serve Him in the field. Look back and remember how His overcoming strength has carried you in the past, and let that fill you with confidence as you move forward in faith. Lord, help us to be faithful and choose wisely today in whatever field you have placed us. Thank You for helping us to overcome the giants in the land. May our actions and attitudes today please You and bring You glory. Amen.
