PERSPECTIVES FROM DAVID’S
7 SECRETS
Chapter Three, “Live in
the Moment” p. 53
IMMEDIATE
OBEDIENCE
When you know you simply
have to do something good, do it right now before procrastination, and then
forgetfulness, make it disappear.
“Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn’t do it,
sins.” James 4:17
If the Lord is in charge
of you, then He takes care of the appointment calendar. So, it‘s a good idea to get to know what is
on the schedule, and then, keep it!
David was anointed to be
the next King.
However, on the way to the
appointment, he was conscripted to play and sing for a deranged King Saul who
ended up throwing spears at him. After a
dozen or so years of fleeing for his life, he finally made it, and became the
King of Judah. Then, he faced seven
years of civil war with Israel to the north.
In the end, the divine
appointment did work out. He became King of all Israel for the next 33
years. He died at 70, successful, loved,
a legend in his own time, and the greatest King in Israel’s history whose line
would reach to Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
You have a divine
appointment, too. You were chosen by
Jesus just like his disciples were and in John 15:26 He said, “I chose you and
appointed you to go and bear fruit”. The
thing is, can you handle the interruptions, detours, and uphill struggles that
most certainly will come your way to complete your appointment? These appointments require immediate obedience,
too, and they are life changing! The
best!
Embrace them. Watch God work beyond your biggest dreams.
“Nevertheless, each one should retain the place in life that the Lord has
assigned him and to which God has called him.” I Cor. 7:17. “For He chose us in
Him before the foundation of the world” Eph. 1:4. These are awesome, big statements. It is great to know we have been appointed,
and for a very long time….so
JUST GO FOR
IT
