David's Prayer

SCRIPTURE 2 Samuel 2:18
David's Prayer 18 Then King David went in and sat before the LORD, and he said: "Who am I, O Sovereign LORD, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far? 19 And as if this were not enough in your sight, O Sovereign LORD, you have also spoken about the future of the house of your servant. Is this your usual way of dealing with man, O Sovereign LORD ?
20 "What more can David say to you? For you know your servant, O Sovereign LORD. 21 For the sake of your word and according to your will, you have done this great thing and made it known to your servant.


OBSERVATION
I believe that David was amazed and in shock that the Almighty God would pay so much attention to him. David felt humbled and curious why God would choose him and his family to exalt. David called himself a servant and humbled himself even though he was anointed King. It doesn't matter what position we have. We need to recognize that we are very lucky to be called his servants. God is the only one that knows are future and can exalt whoever he wants to. So many times we forget that the only person in charge of our future is God almighty.


APPLICATION
Teach me to be humble like David, eventhough you have brought us to a place of leadership. People all around me, do not know that I am nothing but a servant. So many times we want to put people on their peddalstools and honor the person that God has sent, but it is God who we need to lift up. The word says that if we lift up the name of Jesus all men would be drawn unto him.
PRAYER
Lord, I pray that you will continue to recognize me as your servant and will use me to fullfill your plan. I pray that you will reveal your will and your destiny for our lives. Please help us to trust you, because you are the only one that knows our future.
