1 Chronicles 11:9 David became ever more powerful, for the LORD of hosts was with him.
David did not become great in a day. God had big plans for David way before David was born. God chose David, and God molded him. David became great because of God. But it wasn’t an easy process. Think of a sculpture. It is shaped, molded, and put in the fire many times before it is finished. David was just a shepherd boy that God made into a king. David put his trust in God and defeated a giant. He built a great city because he kept God near to him.
All the gifts we receive are from God. Though we do have the power to make our own choices, God lays out a plan before us. The way to greatness isn’t a straight paved road. If everything was meant to be easy, God wouldn’t allow weeds to grow in the garden. It doesn’t matter how often we clear out the troubles in our garden or our life, there will always be more. We must put our trust in God. We need to know that no matter how many time we are overwhelmed, God will pull the weeds. No matter how many people push us down, God will pick us back up. No matter how many times, God will walk with us back out. We will be greater than ever.
