1 Chronicles 20:1-3
1 In the spring of the year, the time when kings go out to battle, Joab led out the army and ravaged the country of the Ammonites and came and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem. And Joab struck down Rabbah and overthrew it.
2 And David took the crown of their king from his head. He found that it weighed a talent of gold, and in it was a precious stone. And it was placed on David's head. And he brought out the spoil of the city, a very great amount. 3 And he brought out the people who were in it and set them to labor with saws and iron picks and axes. And thus David did to all the cities of the Ammonites.
Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
David fought for 22 years for the anointing of God to be shown to be true. When Saul died, David saw 3 people crowned before David. Little by little, David became King of parts of Israel until he was King of Israel.
When he came into his power, David welcomed those who had not helped him during the hard years. David had learned about being a shepherd.
When David came into his city, David did not carefully plan his home - his home was outside the City Walls - David would see over the city and God would keep David safe. Preparations were well thought out.
When David built his great buildings, David asked outside of Israel for supplies, sometimes for laborers, and for designs of Architecture. David was a Shepherd like Jesus, he saw a need to be a light or ally to the Nations. Preparations were well thought out.
When David found a crown, he did not take it and have it melted down and or carefully re-jeweled. The crown was of value, but not the focus of David. It was a value and a symbol, however not the focus. The crown was now of nations. As the Light of Christ Jesus. Father God of all.
David returned to Peace. The City of David is Peace.
Finding the right direction and priority - is yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Abba, Father,
We ask Your Blessings. You provide the seasons, challenges and opportunities. When opportunities come, we would ask Your Wisdom and rely on You as God.
In this season of Holy Days, we would ask God to direct us. To stay on His Path. For His encouragement, teaching, Love, Mercy, Grace, Joy, and His Renewing Mercy every day. We are renewed daily in His Mercy.
We know this blessing of God's for our Loved ones and ask this to sweep this Nation. To fill the Nations trusting in Him. Knowing the comfort of all of His Children praying for more Heaven on earth. Being encouraged as the Children of God learn of so many praying every day.
In the Name of Jesus, We rejoice in hearing of renewal. More Heaven on earth! Amen.
♔ Lord Jesus Saves! †
