THE DAILY ENCOURAGER<br />

THE DAILY ENCOURAGER<br />

January 12<br />

Today's Scripture:<br />

“...being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will<br />

carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus”<br />

(Phil. 1:6)<br />

GOD IS STILL WORKING ON ME<br />

Today, I have good news for YOU who is walking with the Lord. YOU<br />

who call Him YOUR ONLY DEPENDABLE GOD! You see, none of us has<br />

arrived yet. We are all still works in progress. I am glad today that I am not<br />

what I used to be and that I am not what will be when He gets through with<br />

me some day.<br />

The Psalm of David is full of His entire walk with the Lord. He has shared<br />

his faith and his walk with the Lord with us in the Psalms. And we really<br />

have some interesting stories about David in there. I personally find him to<br />

be a very interesting man of God. I sometimes make jokes like, this “dude”<br />

just know how to corner God all the time. He is one man the Lord could not<br />

just let go of his hand and I believe God himself found him to be dedicated<br />

and obedient servant and said; "After removing Saul, he made David their<br />

king. God testified concerning him: 'I have found David son of Jesse, a man<br />

after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do". (Acts 13:22)<br />

King David, the man chosen by God to lead Israel, proved himself to be a<br />

man after God's own heart. He like us was imperfect. He like us was tried<br />

and tested. He like us had many problems, some of which he brought on<br />

himself and others not of his own making. He patiently endured all that life<br />

had to offer; the good with the evil. He never allowed these circumstances<br />

to cause him to resort to wickedness, dishonesty or worldliness. Instead, he<br />

kept God first in his life always and steadfastly looked to Him for help and<br />

deliverance.<br />

Listen somebody… the God we serve, will certainly be interested in someone<br />

who will do everything He the Lord ask of him or her. I mean that’s what<br />

our walk with him is all about. That is a father who is certainly interested<br />

in a son or a daughter who will always say yes dad… I hear you. I will do just<br />

as you have asked me to do.<br />
