Manna for Your Morning

  So David and his troops went up to Baal-perazim and defeated the Philistines there. “God did it!” David exclaimed. “He used me to burst through my enemies like a raging flood!” So they named that place Baal-perazim (which means “the Lord who bursts through”). — 1 Chronicles 14:11 (NLT) So David did what God commanded, and they struck down his enemies. (1 Chronicles 14:16). The secret to David’s success is that He obeyed God. The price we pay or the investment we make is consistent obedience. And our faithful, mighty God will cause us to burst through our enemies or any other obstacles that dare stand in our way. Amen!

For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. — 2 Chronicles 16:9 (NKJV) A loyal heart has a consistent, deep devotion, that says, “I'm with you!” It is steadfast and immovable. When you are loyal to someone, you are willing to lay your life on the line for the other person. God is constantly looking for people whose hearts are totally committed to Him, so He can show Himself strong on their behalf. Let us serve Him with a loyal heart and with a mind that is willing to do it His way.
