The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and…the bear will rescue me.
Young David persevered through an experience we might well call unpleasant. When Israel was challenged to send someone to fight Goliath, no one was brave enough to step up to the task. No one but David. King Saul was reluctant to send him to fight, but David explained that as a shepherd he had fought and killed a lion and a bear for the sake of the sheep. Confidently he stated, The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and…the bear will rescue me from the hand of Philistine.
Being a shepherd didn’t earn David much respect, but it prepared him to fight Goliath and eventually become Israel’s greatest king. We may be in difficult circumstances, but through them God might be preparing us for something greater!
Lord, help me to hold on during the unpleasant times in my life right now; knowing that You may be preparing me for something greater.
God uses present circumstances to prepare us for the future.
