David’s accomplishments and impact upon Israel soared far beyond what a mortal man can do because of this fact … he relied solely upon God’s strength and ability. His life is proof for all to see that one yielded to God can mount the highest heights of success.

He was very careful to always give God the credit – hence the Psalms.

Paul likewise declared, “I can do ALL THINGS through Christ Who strengthens me.”

This is the desired way to live.

PRAYER: Lord, our lives are in Your hands. We rely upon Your strength and leading. We are nothing apart from You.
