Thank You for loving me faithfully throughout my life. When was the last time you made a difficult decision that honored God? How did it affect your relationship with Him?ĭear God, help me to honor You with the choices I make. When our choices honor God, we can experience the blessing David described: to the faithful, God shows Himself faithful. Will we choose faithfulness to God as His Spirit guides us or let the world entice us? David’s life wasn’t perfect, but he often wrote about keeping “the ways of the Lord” and the good outcomes that came from doing so (Psalm 18:21–24). After that, we have a lifetime of decisions to make. Our first choice for Him happens when we receive His Son, Jesus Christ, as the sacrifice for our sin (1 John 4:9–10). Because He loves us, He lets us choose for or against Him. Like Sergey, God will never force us to be faithful to Him. She chooses to stay, and her betrayal breaks his heart. Sergey knows he can force Masha to leave with him, but he lets her make the decision. Just as the couple is about to return home, a prince arrives in town, wanting to meet her. There, Masha’s beauty and charm bring her instant popularity. Sergey, who adores her, arranges a trip to St. They settle in the countryside, but Masha becomes bored with her surroundings. He loved the Scriptures (Psalm 119:47), and when he sinned, he repented and sought God’s forgiveness (2 Samuel 11:13 Psalm 51). Why would God esteem such a flawed man? It was because David had absolute faith in God, evidenced in his victory over Goliath (1 Samuel 17). Yet David committed adultery and had a man killed. I will set him over my house and my kingdom forever his throne will be established forever” (1 Chronicles 17:13–14).ĭavid would always have a descendant on the throne, and from his family line came Jesus (Acts 13:23). Because of this, God had promised David (through the prophet Nathan): “I will never take my love away from. The superscription of Psalm 18 tells us that David “sang to the Lord the words of this song when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies.” David was considered a “man after own heart” (1 Samuel 13:14 Acts 13:22). ![]() Today’s Scripture & Insight: Psalm 18:20–27 To the faithful you show yourself faithful. The Topic of Our Daily Bread For 2nd July 2021 is “Choosing to Honor God” ![]()
