And David knew that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for the sake of his people Israel.
2 Samuel 5:12
Father, it is a wonderful thing to see Your fingerprints all over my life, making things happen to me and for me that could not have come to pass except for Your intervention!
My soul finds so much joy in seeing what You are doing through me in the lives of my loved ones, taking my mistakes, blunders and shortcomings, and turning them on their head to use them as teaching points and blessing opportunities in the lives of those I am closest to. I am amazed at the favor that You have given me in the eyes of those I live, work and engage with. Honestly, I can be a knucklehead! Yet, they look past my stupidity and see an intrinsic value that I bring to them and their lives. How can this be? I struggle with me and often don’t see anything good within myself. Yet they love me! It can only be You!
I thank You for establishing me and blessing my going out and coming in. I thank You for raising up people around me who love me in spite of me, looking past my faults and seeing something in me that only You can cause them to see. I thank You for how You have established me and are continuing to establish me. This favor You have given me, frankly, blows my mind! How can You love me like You do? I will never understand it. All I can do is be eternally grateful for it, demonstrating this gratitude by living my life to the fullness by focusing on You and Your glory. And this I shall do! Thank You, Father! Amen!
