After David was anointed King, he could have started his life of Royalty by relaxing and sending others to do his bidding. That is not what he did. He was ready to take on what God had for him and did so. The enemy mocked him and even said that the blind and lame could defeat him in his quest to take over what God had promised. The enemy likes to deceive and confuse. If we even give him the opportunity, he will get into our head and start working against us. He will try to convince us that we will fail before we even begin. He will try to make us believe that no matter what, we will never be any better than our past. He tells us to not even try because no matter what, we will fail. He will try to plant seeds of doubt. He said all these things to David, but David went ahead and believed in God. He didn’t listen to the lies the enemy said, and went ahead with what he needed to do. He claimed his city and renamed it the City of David! He claimed victory. Our God has no limitations. With Him on our side, we can leave the battle victorious. After every victory the enemy will come looking for us. After every victory there will come a greater battle. When David heard that the Philistines were coming, he found a place of prayer and ask God to direct him. God said to fight. He said it would be a doubtless victory. Some victories are by a slim margin. Others will be transformational! No one will doubt that kind of victory. The bible says that David went up to the enemy and smote them there. He didn’t wait for them to reach him, he took the battle to them. David renamed the place Bael-Perazim which means the Lord who breaks through. David is credited with many great things. Killing the Lion, Killing the bear, defeating Goliath, and many others. David gets the credit, but it was really God who did all those things. David gave the credit to where it should go; the credit goes to God. David’s name was famous across the land, but it was God who was responsible for all those great things. If we will allow Him, God will break through for us. If we will let Him, He will create a Baal-Perazim for each of us.
