Overtake

 Faithful

God is FAITHFUL!!!

After every storm a person needs to rebuild. Either, their homes or whatever the storm had destroyed. There are times when we ourselves go through some storms, where the enemy had robbed us of our blessings. However, we cannot sit and cry but we have to strengthen ourselves in the Lord to go and recover. When we look at King David, we see after he came back from fighting a battle, he saw everything he had burned to the ground. His family and his soldier’s family were all taken. This was a devastating event, because he was a man of God. Likewise, many of us are God's people and we sometimes don’t expect negative events to happen to us. Especially, when we are doing the will of God and suddenly a storm hits us.

Nevertheless, we must strengthen ourselves and go after what is rightfully ours. While David had lost focus on the storm and began to cried, some of the men promised to stone him. How many of us have lost something that was not ours in storms, and maybe facing a stoned? Quickly David realize why cry, when he can go before his Lord and see what He say. The Bible said, “Then David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelek, “Bring me the ephod.” Abiathar brought it to him, 8 and David inquired of the Lord, “Shall I pursue this raiding party? Will I overtake them?” “Pursue them,” he answered. “You will certainly overtake them and succeed in the rescue.”(1 Samuel 30:7-8).

So like David many of us needs to stop crying over, the pains in our storms  and get ready to go and recover what was stolen. Many times we forget who we are, and who we belong too. We spent time looking at the situation, instead of look at the Author and Finisher. For Christ, knows and sees the storms that we facing. He allows them to happen, so we can come before him to exit, recover and rebuild stronger than before. We must not have a defeated mindset but a mindset as an overcomer, knowing that if God is for us, who can be against us.  Today, your job is to seek the Lord for direction, make yourself available to listen and be obedient to Him, to be victorious in your storms. Be blessed and know that no storms are too big or too small for him.
