The Victorious Life

1 Samuel 17:12-51

This is truly an amazing story—we rarely hear of anything this miraculous in our world today. But we, like David, can live triumphantly, even in the midst of terrifying and seemingly impossible circumstances. First, we need to understand success from the Lord’s perspective: Goals should align with Scripture; then our Father directs us, and we follow with confidence.

Teaching on Separation

From the world – John 15:19
If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you  out of the world. That is why the world hates you.

From the Sinners – Hebrew 7:26
Such a high priest  truly meets our need—one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners,  exalted above the heavens

From Unbelievers – 2 Corinthians 6:14
 Do not be yoked together  with unbelievers.  For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?

2 Corinthians 6:17
Therefore,
  “Come out from them
 and be separate,
 says the Lord.
 Touch no unclean thing,
 and I will receive you.”

Hebrews 13:5

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." —

We have two choices for our lives. Either we can live by faith or by sight. We can trust in God's abiding presence and power or we can depend upon our own resources. But wealth, like health, status, and reputation are all subject to decay and disappearance. Only one Source is always there for us and we know we can depend upon him, because he has been there for so many who have come before us. Never is forever and this one never I cherish: "Never will I forsake you!"
