In 1 Chronicles 14, David's kingdom is firmly established—not because of his power, but because the Lord was with him. We see how David prospers under God's hand, builds his household, and defeats the Philistines. What stands out most is David's dependence on the Lord: before every battle, he inquires of God. God answers with wisdom and power, granting victory and spreading David's fame. This passage reminds us that: • God is the one who establishes His people. • We must seek His guidance before acting. • The Lord alone brings breakthrough and victory. • Idols must be rejected, for only God deserves glory. Ultimately, David points us to Christ, the greater King, who has broken through sin, Satan, and death. As David sought the Lord's will, we too are called to depend on Christ daily, trusting His presence and guidance in every battle. ________________________________________ 🔑 Key Verse 1 Chronicles 14:11 "And David said, 'God has broken through my enemies by my hand, like a bursting flood.' Therefore the name of that place is called Baal-perazim." For more from Reading the Bible Daily with Dave please visit: https://servantsofgrace.org/reading-the-bible-daily-with-dave/
