TODAY’S WORD
Before King Saul sent for David, David had been anointed by the prophet Samuel to be the next king of Israel. But although David heard the prophet declare it, felt the oil running down his head, and the Spirit of the Lord came upon him mightily, he didn’t go to the palace. He went back to the shepherds’ fields. He knew he was a king, but his lowly circumstances said just the opposite. But David understood this principle: “My God defines who I am, not my environment. He says I’m a king, so I’m going to have a king mentality.” David led those sheep with excellence, used his sling to protect the sheep as though he was protecting God’s people. One day he defeated Goliath and was suddenly thrust into great influence and favor. He became who God said he was.
Perhaps you feel as though you’re in the shepherds’ fields right now. Don’t let your environment talk you out of what God promised you. Where you are is not who you are. Keep seeing yourself as a king. Your time is coming.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that You have given me gifts and a calling that no one can take from me. Thank You that my environment does not define me; You do. I declare that I will pass the faithfulness test of being my best and get to the place of blessing You have for me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
