“Know the God of
your father,” said King David to Solomon.
David had walked and talked with the one true God. He had known Him when he defeated Goliath and
when his life was being hunted by King Saul.
He had danced before the ark of His covenant and had wept before Him
because of his own transgressions. David
knew God intimately and wanted the same for his son.
Do you really
want your friends and family members to know and serve your god? Is your god in fact God? Every once in a while it is good to stop and
do a quick lifestyle check. Does your
life truly reflect a relationship with God that you would want others to
have? Have you let other things creep in
and take up more of your time, more of your thoughts, more of your activity?
For a quick
test, think of a typical day in the last week.
Would it have been clear to anyone that the God of David was also your
God? We do not worship God for the sake
of others, but if no one can tell from our life that the Lord is our God, then
we have some adjustments to make.
Lord, help me not to get so caught up in the
details of life that I forget You as I try to live life on my own. Help me to be like David. Whether in joy or in sorrow, I want You to be
my everything. In the name of Jesus, I
pray. Amen.Copyright © 2013 by Steven R. Perkins
