Every Day

1 Samuel 23:14
And David abode in the wilderness in strong holds, and remained in a mountain in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God delivered him not into his hand.

Every day Saul sought David to kill him, but every day God delivered David and kept him safe. Our provision from God is a daily thing, one day at a time. We ask for our daily bread and trust for it again the next day. We focus on the day at hand and leave tomorrow’s worries in tomorrow. We boast not of tomorrow, but trust God for where we are right now.

Every day our enemy pursues after us, seeking our destruction. Satan is a relentless foe. But every day we can have deliverance. Every day God protects and provides what we need to resist sin and temptation. Every day new challenges may come, but God never leaves nor forsakes, and He goes with us into whatever a day may bring forth.

David was strongest when he was focused totally on God, trusting fully, seeking Him and His will. David’s lapses came when he looked too much at his problems, at his enemy, or at himself and what he wanted. It is a daily journey that we take, a moment-by-moment kind of life. We are not promised tomorrow, so what will we focus on today? What will we trust God for today? What will we believe about God today? And how will we face today knowing that God is with us whatever may come our way?
