Scripture: "David fastened on his sword over the tunic and tried walking around, because he was not used to them. “I cannot go in these,” he said to Saul, “because I am not used to them.” So he took them off." 1 Samuel 17:39 NIV But Samuel replied: “Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the Lord? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams. 1 Samuel 15:22 NIV Application: Others will try to shape is in ways that reflect their desires. That's not always out of evil desires; it may be out of a sense of nostalgia in which they wish to recapture something they've lost. But that's not their call. God created us for His purpose, not someone else's. Our lives are fulfilled when we obey God's unique call for us. We can't do it by being a great replica of someone else. Prayer: Let the originality You put in me shine through, Lord. Amen. Comments are closed.
