There is nothing more wonderful than knowing you have pleased someone you love. If there is one whose opinion you value at home, or work, or in a relationship, you long to do that which blesses them, that brings a smile to their heart and a “Well done!” to their lips.

It is our worst trait and most natural tendency. Although God has made Himself abundantly known, we ignore Him and “worship and serve the creature and not the Creator” (Romans 1:25). Life becomes about us and not about Him. This diverted vision affects us in ways beyond our comprehension. It narrows our view and confines our lives. It is the source of all pettiness and selfishness. It is the sole source of our worry and fear.

You can ignore Gods Word and resist God’s Spirit control in your life. But be assured of this: you have chosen a deadly path and you will find yourself established on that road. But you can choose to follow Christ. You can love His Word and gladly yield to His Spirit. The result over time is a life established on the right path.

It is important to ask the right questions. Even more important is to have those questions answered with truth. We can embrace error, of course, and it will dramatically affect our lives.

Will the Lord find us as men and women—and even leaders—who will admit our sin, humble ourselves, and cry out for God's mercy? Or will we move forward in unrelenting pride? If we turn and pray, He has promised to hear and heal.
It’s time to build an altar of fresh repentance and humble surrender to the Lord. It’s time to pray for the land.

There is nothing quite so devious as moral impurity. But there is also nothing quite so predictable. Our great Enemy knows that he doesn’t have to be creative with immorality. The bait is so strong that it just needs to be placed within our reach. If we do not immediately apply God’s remedy, we will be ensnared. Sweet for a moment, the end results are always excruciating.

Do you worship God? Are you willing to be humbled before others because you simply do not care what they think? Do you come before Him with total abandonment? One of the indicators will be your critics. Worldly humanists will scoff at your worship, indicating that they don’t really know your God. But those who know Him will join in the dance beside you … and God Himself will smile.

God is forever the same, but what do you know of Him? Have you discovered Him? Experienced Him? Don't resent the suffering God allows in your life, for this pushes you to discover Him. But as the pressure has risen, have you relied on your own human abilities alone, or have you run in helplessness to the Rock? Only then will God become real to you. Only there will you discover the bottomless depth of God’s power, the abounding height of His love, the width of His wisdom, the breadth of His character.

It's a simple sentence, but profoundly telling. It was the reason a young shepherd named David became the greatest King Israel ever knew. It was why God would entrust such responsibility into his hands. And, It's the necessary essential of all great leaders.
And David realized that the Lord had established him as king over Israel, and that He had exalted his kingdom for the sake of His people Israel. (2 Samuel 5:12)

God honors men who depend upon Him. Study the early life of the young King David. You will find him overwhelmed with the magnitude of his task and continually crying out to God for leadership. His dependence allowed God Himself to lead through him.
