Chosen before I knew it
In 2 Samuel, David realizes that it is God who had made Him King. It was God who had ordained him and anointed him. It was God who brought david through those ups and downs. Who delivered david from saul. It was God who had orchestrated the day they had crowned david as King over all Israel. It was all God. In psalm God told me He knew me before I was even made. That before I even breathed He knew that today would happen and exactly all of my thoughts today. These are 2 crazy things when you combine them.
I find it absolutely wonderfully amazing that david stops and gives acknowledgment and recognition to God and accredit Him correctly for aol that He did for david. That david stupid and says "God this was all you. You made all this happen for me. All you." That's awesome. I've recently been putting in some initiative to get out there and do awesome things for the Lord. To other churches and not just my own. To unite the body of Christ. Visiting other churches offering too do guest speaking or guest worship. I went to this one church and the facility alone blew me away. I saw their anxiety and told my friend "i need to do a worship night here!" I went back a couple weeks later and this woman I had met for the first time that night asked me to be a part of their upcoming worship night they were holding! Crazy! One of the students I discipled while he was in high school is now a good friend of mine. I often speak with him and still encourage him and disciple him. His mom had asked me to be a guest motivational speaker at this years upcoming project grad for the graduating seniors. Crazy! I have all these opportunities that are just wonderful. Now here's where the devil came in.
Right after it all I was indirectly called immature and a goofy guy. Totally brought my world down. It put up a wall blocking my path or my goal I was achieving. I just wasn't good enough yet. For the past couple of days now that's howe I've been feeling all of these wonderful opportunities, but I'm just not good enough to get where I want to go.
But I love how david stops and says "God this was all you. This wonderful crown I wear on my head is because of you." It is. All of these recent opportunities for me that I've been searching for God had granted me. Praise the Lord. And what's better is God knew I would stay to feel like poop, He knew I would get down, He knew I wouldn't feel good enough. And then He told me today "lyle I knew it all you before you breathed. But I have it to you first because I wanted you up there." Isn't that awesome. Just as God chose david He had chose me. I serve a wonderful God who is most worthy of my praise!
