Grow in the Lord

2 Samuel 5:10
"So David went on and became great, and the Lord God of hosts was with him."

Last Sunday afternoon, my great-aunt introduced me to a gentleman at her church. She began to tell him about the time she'd spent with me as a young boy growing up. She told of how she didn't mind investing time in me, because she always knew that I'd grow up to be a great one day. It made me feel so good to know that people thought enough of me to take time out to spend with me.
I began to look back at the things that I used to do, that I don't do anymore.....not because I'm perfect. Remember, being saved doesn't make you sinless, it makes you sin less.
I had to get to a point in life, where I understood that things were not going to always be what I thought they should be. Yet, I really love the fact that just knowing I had people looking out for me.
As I read the scripture above, that speaks of David growing up to do great and God being with him, it made me evaluate myself. It's something about God being with you. Every quarter, every year, we should evaluate ourselves. Are we getting better? Are we becoming greater? Are we still struggling with some of the same spiritual battles we struggled with last year?
Get the lod with you. When you have God with you, you have no choice but to be great.
The challenge for today is; if you haven't found Him....find Him. If you're not walking in greatness, evaluate who's hand you're holding. Holding God's hand will always make you shine brighter than you did the day before. So, get your shine on!


DAILY LOVE FROM HIM ABOVE
