And David became more and more powerful, because the Lord God of Heaven’s Armies was with him.

So David asked the Lord, “Should I go out to fight the Philistines? Will you hand them over to me?”

So David went to Baal-perazim and defeated the Philistines there. “The Lord did it!” David exclaimed. “He burst through my enemies like a raging flood!” 

And David became more and more powerful, because the Lord of Heaven’s Armies was with him.

Then the Spirit came upon Amasai, the leader of the Thirty, and he said,“We are yours, David! We are on your side, son of Jesse.

Lord God my Father,

Only in you do I find peace and purpose. You give me the power to do your will. Help me to submit to your plan and care for myself so I may do your will with all my strength. Bring a heart in me that only moves in your direction under your authority.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
