-Discernment helped David realize that assassination would mean stepping out of God’s will
-Strength played a role in the decision

Matthew 22:37,39: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind" and to "love your neighbor as yourself."

Don’t let others lead you astray
Adding requirements to the finished work of Christ can make people uncertain and insecure about their spiritual standing
When Jesus cried out on the cross, “It is finished” (John 19:30), that’s exactly what He meant!
Reasons why Jesus came that gives us the freedom we have:
He came to seek and save that which was lost. (Luke 19:10)
He came that we might have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10);
He came to set the captives free (Luke 4:18).
He paid in full for your salvation and promises to complete the good work He began in you (Philippians 1:6).
He set you free indeed! Live it, embrace it, and receive it!

John 16:14,15
1 Thessalonians 2:1-12
The apostle Paul was an authentic witness for the Lord!
No one really wants to fake it through life
Live a life that is real and not false, so that at the end of the day you have a good conscience
Blameless is the opposite of faking it

• Fathers pull their children toward them rather than turning them away.
• Fathers inspire confidence and trust, not loathing and suspicion.

Psalm 34:1-8
Mark Sorensen in a devotion from The Wake-Up Call: “Curious researchers at a university in Gothenburg, Sweden, wanted to know what happened to the heart rates of high school choir members when they joined their voices and sang together in song. Using pulse monitors attached to the members’ ears, the researchers monitored changes found in their heartbeats as they navigated through a choral piece of music, and what they found surprised them. In a very short period of time, the different singers in the choir didn’t just unify their voices, “their pulse rates also synchronized, their hearts beating together in relationship to their breaths.”
Praising the Lord is not limited to worshipping in church
Luke 1:47a: “My soul magnifies the Lord”
Luke 1:47b: “My spirit rejoices in God my Savior”
Luke 1:48a: “For He has looked with favor on the lowliness of His servant”
God is praised when we serve Him

Matthew 18:21,22
Romans 7:15
The 1st step in beginning to live the Christian life: "Repent," Jesus says. "Acknowledge your sinfulness."
The 2nd step in beginning to live the Christian life is to go out there once we've been given another chance to make something of it
God is gracious and patient, but there is a limit to His patience toward those who do not repent and are not spiritually productive
Psalm 19:14:
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
Tis the Season of Denial Matthew 16:21-27
Jesus suffered, and we’ll need to suffer too
Matthew 16:21
Matthew 16:23
Set your mind on divine things, not on human things
Seeing the full picture
Psalm 19:14
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
Deuteronomy 26:1-11
What are “first fruits?”
Focus on Self or on Others?
Deuteronomy 26:4,5a
The nature of these gifts are tangible.
Be willing to share our gifts from God.
The importance of 40 days
Moses had a glowing face
Ephesians 5: 1-2
Everything I am and everything I have today is due to my Lord who took a chance on giving eternal life to a person that didn't deserve it, yet He did it anyway for me and everyone else that believes in Him.
Watch your thoughts,
They become your words.
Watch your words,
They become your actions.
Watch your actions,
They become your habits.
Watch your habits,
They become your character.
Watch your character,
It becomes your destiny.—Author unknown.
Philippians 3:12-14
Philippians 3:10,11: "I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead."
“I press on toward the goal”
Philippians 4:4: “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!”
“Joy is not happiness. It’s not a feeling or an emotion. Joy is not positive thinking. Joy is a fruit of the Holy Spirit (Gal. 5:22–23). Joy is supernatural. Joy is that deep inner conviction that though things are not right everything is going to be alright. Joy is experienced by those who exercise their faith through rejoicing. There is no circumstance in life that can elude joy. While joy comes from the Holy Spirit, it comes to those who will choose, by faith, to rejoice.” J.D. Walt
Philippians 4:5: “Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.”
Philippians 4:6: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."
Philippians 4:7: ”And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:22: “All God’s people here send you greetings, especially those who belong to Caesar’s household.”
Philippians 3:10,11: "I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead."
Keeping our credentials in perspective
Philippians 3:6b
“as for righteousness based on the law, faultless.”
Philippians 3:7 (New Living Translation)“I once thought these things were valuable, but now I consider them worthless because of what Christ has done.”
Philippians 3:8a“What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things.”
Is our greatest accomplishment knowing our Lord?
Philippians 3:11
“and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.”
Everything we have gone through for the sake of our Lord is worth it now and will be worth it in the end!
Philippians 3:10,11: "I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead."
Philippians 2:5
Instead of WWJD (What would Jesus do?), ask HDJDI (How did Jesus do it?)
“He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, baptized by the Holy Spirit, anointed by the Holy Spirit, gifted by the Holy Spirit, inspired by the Holy Spirit, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and infused with the Holy Spirit. He walked in the power of the Spirit, prayed in the language of the Spirit, healed in the power of the Spirit, loved in the way of the Spirit, and so on. To “have the same mindset as Christ Jesus” means to be filled by the same power that filled Jesus—who is the person of the Holy Spirit.”- J.D. Walt in First Love devotional
Romans 12:2
Romans 12:1
Philippians 2:8
Philippians 2:12b, 13

Philippians 3:10,11: "I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead."
John 15:12
Philippians 2:17
“In biblical terms, a drink offering means basically to pour out a cup of wine as an act of worship to God. The worshipper does not drink any of it themselves. It is all poured out as a sign of the victory and the joy of God. In other words, it is a complete sacrifice.”
J.D. Walt in First Love devotional
Become a “me for you” person
Epaphroditus did for Paul what we need to do for others
Commit to being a drink offering through prayer
“I am no longer my own, but thine. Put me to what thou wilt, rank me with whom thou wilt. Put me to doing, put me to suffering. Let me be employed for thee or laid aside for thee, exalted for thee or brought low for thee. Let me be full, let me be empty. Let me have all things, let me have nothing. I freely and heartily yield all things to thy pleasure and disposal. And now, O glorious and blessed God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, thou art mine, and I am thine. So be it. And the covenant which I have made on earth, let it be ratified in heaven. Amen" J.D. Walt quoting John Wesley in First Love devotional
Less of “Lord Jesus help me!” and more of “Lord Jesus have me!”
Philippians 1:21-30
Philippians 3:10,11: "I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead."
Paul had a single priority-Jesus!
"Paul has so deeply and thoroughly surrendered his life to Jesus that though he is completely vulnerable to the schemes of men, he is totally invincible. You cannot kill the one who has already died. He knows the secret to life—which is to die before you die. His ambitions and aspirations are dead and buried. Now his life can be consumed by a holy passion.” J.D. Walt in First Love devotional
Nehemiah 8:10c: “The joy of the Lord is your strength.”
Philippians 1:21
If you're not ready to die, then you're not ready to live.
Philippians 1:27a: “Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ.”
Matthew 6:33Jesus is our priority over all other priorities. Keep the main thing the main thing!
Philippians 1:21
Perspective
Philippians 1:3-11
Philippians 3:10,11 (NIV): I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.
Paul’s prayer for the Philippians
Philippians 1:9
Love is a command, not a feeling
John 15:12
“I want to know Christ!”
“The love of God in Jesus Christ is the white-hot, blazing sun of all reality. No sun means no light. No sun means no life. No sun means no order. Just as everything must revolve around the sun, everything must revolve around the love of God.”
J.D. Walt in First Love devotional
Philippians 1:6
When did our Lord begin a good work in you?
Keep that love overflowing!
John’s humility is a lesson for us all
“John answered all of them by saying, “I baptize you with water;” Luke 3:16 a:
“But One who is more powerful than I is coming; I am not worthy to untie the thong of his sandals.”
“He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.” Luke 3:16c
Luke 3:21, 22

Baptism is our royal anointing

Prepare the way for the Lord
Will you be ready for that day?
Join with Zechariah in praise this season
Luke 1:67-79
Zechariah goes from priest to prophet
Luke 1:78b,79
Zechariah, John the Baptist, and Jesus fulfilled their task, but what about us?
Psalm 34:3
We don’t know what the future holds, but praise God we know who holds the future!
Let the praises roll!
The Days Are Coming Jeremiah 33:14-16
This “righteous Branch” is Jesus!
Christian righteousness is not self-righteousness.
Righteousness is all about right relationship
Matthew 23:23
The days are surely coming!
The Question Jesus Doesn't Answer John 18:33-38a "What is truth?"John 18:37John 18:37bProverbs 21:2: "A person may think their own ways are right, but the LORD weighs the heart." (NIV)Where in our culture these days do we see examples of belonging to the truth?Examples of not listening to the voice of Jesus:We do not show love for one another (see John 13:34-35)We do not repent of sin (see Matthew 4:17)We do not pray for our enemies (see Matthew 5:44-45)We do not "take up our cross" (see Matthew 16:24-25)We are not involved in making disciples (see Matthew 28:18-20)We do not pray (see Luke 21:36)We do not forgive (see Matthew 18:22)We are consumed with being materially and financially successful (see Matthew 6:19-21)We express anger and verbal abuse (see Matthew 5:21-22)We seek revenge on those who have wronged us (see Matthew 5:38-42)We seek the favor and applause of the public (see Matthew 6:1-4)We are consumed with worry and anxiety (see Matthew 6:25-34)We judge others (see Matthew 7:1-5)Christ is the truth!

The Pharisees had a different view of Jesus
John 12:9-11
John 12:19
John 12:13b
The same thing that happened to the crowd in Jesus’ day still happens today!
Sarah Young in the devotional titled “Jesus Calling:”
“Let My Light shine in you; don’t dim it with worries or fears. Holiness is letting Me live through you. Since I dwell in you, you are fully equipped to be holy. Pause before responding to people or situations, giving My Spirit space to act through you. Hasty words and actions leave no room for Me; this is atheistic living. I want to inhabit all your moments-gracing your thoughts, words, and behavior.”
So, what is our Lord challenging us to say/do? Don’t be like the crowd.

- Rather than loving just yourself, you love others

A Mother's Prayer
"Dear Lord,
It's such a hectic day,
with little time to stop and pray.
For life's been anything hut calm, since You called me to be a mom - Running errands, matching socks,
Building dreams with stacking blocks.
Cooking, cleaning and finding shoes, and other things that children lose.
Filling lids on bottled bugs, wiping tears and giving hugs.
A stack of last week's mail to read - where's the quiet time I need?
Yet, when I steal a moment, Lord,
at the sink or ironing board,
to ask the blessing of Your grace,
I see then, in my little one's face,
that you have blessed me all the while.
And I stoop to kiss that precious smile.
-Unknown"
