Psalms 21:13 NIV

[13] Be exalted in your strength, Lord; we will sing and praise your might.
It is often a pausing moment to read David and remember that he was king. He was king over all of Israel and yet he always, always gave the victory and glory to God.
When we are doing really well, and life is good, and we feel strong, do we still remember to give God the glory? Or do we turn to Him only when we are down and out and looking for a save?
David remembered God in each moment. In direct contrast, Saul turned his back on God and chose his own will and gave himself the glory.
Giving God the throne even when He has let you sit on it for awhile is honestly the smartest decision to make, because He knows what He’s doing and He will guide your life and your “kingdom” better than you ever could, trust me.

Take away:

God give us blessings and can even make us great. But how we treat those blessings will determine how long we are permitted to have them. Do we give them back to God? Or do we claim them and act as though we deserve them and God owed it to us?
How we treat God is very important. Jesus may have come as Prince of Peace, but He is still king of the world, let us not forget that.

I am a young woman who grew up in British Columbia. In BC was all I ever wanted; I had my poodle (Max) and all my friends, Saturdays at the Vancouver Aquarium and Sunday afternoons at one of my favorite beaches it was paradise. But God had a different plan for my life and my dad's job landed us in Alberta and now where I remain, in small town Souris Manitoba. The transitions from paradise to prairie were difficult and I will admit that now 10 years later I still refer to home as Abbotsford BC. Through this crazy pathway trek across Canada I have had one true constant, God; and though none of it was easy, everything that has happened in my life has formed in me a true lasting friendship with the one I call Immanuel. Because no matter how far from home we are God is with us, and thanks to God I have found an almost completely over looked beauty in Manitoba. If you open your eyes you will see that God has planted wondrous things everywhere you go.
