Christ the Giver of All Things.

I have been going through 2 Samuel in my daily reading and as I came across one line, it made me stop and think. I was reading Chapter 8 that talk about David’s victories. Verse 6b says, “And the LORD gave victory to David wherever he went” It could have been framed any other way like, “David was victorious” or “David had victory wherever he went”. But scripture is specific and gives credit to God. So did David as we see in verse 11.

So do we give credit to when we have victories? It could be an exam done well, or an appraisal at work based on your hard work or even the ability to understand the Word and apply in your life. Let us not forget the giver of all things.

The Psalm that comes to my mind right now is Ps 127:1-2

“Unless the LORD builds the house,

Those who build it labor in vain.

Unless the LORD watches over the city ,

The watchman stays awake in vain.

It is in vain that you rise up early and

Go late to rest,

Eating the bread of anxious toil;

For He gives to His beloved sleep.

So have you thanked the Lord for all your victories?
