Revelation of the Word:

THEME: DRIVEN BY PURPOSE

Acts 13:36 NIV

“Now when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was buried with his ancestors and his body decayed.”

INSIGHT

–David trusted in the Lord and had firm faith in God. In his Psalm 56:11, he asks, “In God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?” He placed his complete hope and faith in God even when he was confronted by his enemies and faced by many troubles. David had great faith in God and was courageous enough to face the Philistine giant Goliath. 1 Samuel 17:47 says that, “Then all this assembly shall know that the Lord does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord’s, and He will give you into our hands.” David trusted in God and His mighty power and he became victorious in war and his endeavors. When king Saul pursued him and his intention was to kill him even as the Holy Spirit filled David and left Saul (1 Samuel 16:13-14). David knew that when he draws near to God in obedience and humility, he will be lifted up and will be able to complete his course. David was a man after God’s own heart. We are called to submit to God and be at peace with Him and we will enjoy prosperity (Job 22:21).
