From Joseph Prince

Picture David when he was a shepherd boy. Many who knew him in his pre-Goliath days would very likely have seen just an ordinary youth—one who lived at home with his parents and siblings, enjoyed the outdoors and loved music. But where others saw a typical teenager, God saw a king in young David. He saw David’s name being uttered in honor forever for even the Lord Jesus is called the Son of David!

From “Relentless” by John Bevere

All of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. 1 Peter 5:5-7

We rule in life by the grace of God. Rom. 5:17, “For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who received abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.”

Genesis 1:26, “Let them have dominion!” When God made man, He gave him dominion over everything on the earth. To have an idea of the kind of dominion that man would have had, had he not sinned, we need to look at the perfect man, Jesus Christ.

Luke 2:8-11, “Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, and angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord.”

Revelations 3:20-21, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.”

The fact that the Lord will come to us and knock on the door of our heart is certain. He may come, however, at a time that is not convenient for us. Nevertheless, He expects a prompt, unquestioning response from us.
