Making History
One of the most well-known and recited Bible verses during Christmas time is Luke 2:11 (NKJV)- For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior who is Christ the Lord.
There’s an interesting verse that ties to this one in II Samuel 2:1: It happened after this that David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go up to any of the cities of Judah?” And the LORD said to him, “Go up… to Hebron.”
David asked God where he should take his family and live. He did not lean on his own understanding by settling for the Mediterranean coastal life. Nor did David seek out peace in mountain-living. He sought God first. Soon after settling in Hebron, David would conquer Jerusalem, and build the City of David. If David had made his decisions on his own, our Christmas verse would today include nothing about a city that David rebuilt. However, David sought God first, and made history.
It’s amazing how surrendering all to God our Father places everything on course, in God’s will, in His perfect plan. We may not see how our children finally surrender their lives to Jesus, or how our decision with work impacts so many other people, or how our daily tasks and decisions, placed in God’s hands, unfold His mighty, glorious plans. God encourages us, “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go. I will guide you with My eye.” (Psalm 32:8) Thank You, Father!
Seeking God first in everything is more divine and monumental in building God’s kingdom than we may be able to understand. Inquire of God. Seek HIM first.
