It All Belongs to the Lord
Today’s Reading: 1 Samuel 30:1-31
Focal Verse: 1 Samuel 30:19-20
And nothing of theirs was lacking, either small or great, sons or daughters, spoil or anything which they had taken from them; David recovered all. Then David took all the flocks and herds they had driven before those other livestock, and said, “This is David’s spoil.”
David felt like he had lost so much. His enemy had taken from David’s people, not only worldly wealth, but also their families. Verse 4 says they “lifted up their voices and wept, until they had no more power to weep”.
But God knew what was ahead. He was going to display His power and grace in a mighty way.
God gave back David and his people their “stuff”. He gave them back their families, and He gave them even more – He gave them their enemies “stuff”, too. What looked like a tragedy from the world became a blessing from God.
Grace….from the Creator and Master of all the “stuff”.
If tragedy has come into your life, talk to the Creator.
You may not get back all your “stuff”, or even a loved one,
But God, in His grace, still longs to bring a blessing into your life.
