*DAILY DEW 17/FEBRUARY/2024*
BECOME! (II)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"He sent messengers to David to report: “I have attacked Rabbah and have captured its water supply. Now gather the rest of your forces, attack the city and take it yourself. I don't want to get the credit for capturing it.”"* (2 Samuel 12:27-28 (GNB))
_Bible Insight:_
If you live without a God glorifying ambition, you will never have enough drive to achieve great things for God.
"Great" is not defined by the general views and options or opinions of men. What is great, can be big in the eyes of one man, and small in the eyes of another. Hence, while chasing greatness, be sure to align with God's definition. But how do you know God's definition of greatness? This is where you must search God's word for yourself. And seek to know and find your God given purpose.
If you follow another man's own "greatness", you might miss yours. David's greatness required he must face Goliath without Saul's armour. If he had thought that Saul's armour will make him great, he would have lost the battle. Find your God given greatness. A small bag of stones and catapult can bring greatness too. What is your own small stone and catapult?
Secondly, have men, women, people that will push and challenge you. Don't be content being surrounded by yes- men (weak persons who always agrees with their political leader or their superior at work)
This also means, don't be too comfortable with people who praise you or try to always please you. Also keep those who seem to attack or challenge you, around you too.
If Joab had been overly ambitious, he would have taken rabbah for himself. However, he rather pushed David to go take it.
_MEDITATION:_
*If you must become what and who God says you will be, don't get offended when people push you and provoke you to do more and be better!*
