| Then Jesse said to his son David, “Take now for your brothers an ephah of this dried grain and these ten loaves, and run to your brothers at the camp. And carry these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand...” |

Submission Releases God’s Favor |
|
You are probably familiar with
the story of David and Goliath. But do you remember how this shepherd
boy ended up on the battlefield to begin with?
David
was there to deliver bread and cheese to his brothers who were in the
army. And yet, David found himself standing on the battlefield as
Israel’s representative against the haughty Goliath. From delivering
bread and cheese, he was now called upon to deliver the entire nation of
Israel.
David was at the right place at the right time because he humbled himself and submitted to his father’s instructions to deliver bread and cheese to his brothers.
Beloved,
this is something you need to understand. Submission to God-appointed
leadership will always cause God’s favor to flow in your life, and you
will find yourself, like David, at the right place at the right time,
empowered by God to do the right thing!
