Today's Passage: 1 Samuel 26-27
"What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?" Romans 8:31
This verse has come to mind several times as we've been reading through the story of David. He is God's man and we have seen armies delivered into his hands and giants fall. We have seen him make wise decisions and gain the respect of his people. We have also seen a jealous king out to get him. Nevertheless, it seems that David meets success in everything he does.
While it is obvious that we should want to be on God's side, the opposite is also implied. We clearly do not want to be in direct opposition to God, but it seems that many Christians have a tendency to make a home in the gray area of complacency and stagnation. While one may not be overtly living in sin or fighting against God, he is also not living in complete accordance with Him. While one may not be actively turning his back to God, he may not be intentionally seeking God's face. This passage has challenged me to seek God daily in order to fight off the temptation to live my life with anything less than a passion for his glory.
