“Then
Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and
the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day
forward.”
1
Samuel 16:13
David could not have been a successful
king without the Spirit of the Lord. We cannot be successful Christians without
the Spirit of the Lord either. It is absolutely vital that we have that. If you
have been born again, you have the Spirit of the Lord. The thing is we have to
choose to walk in it instead of our flesh. Some Christians know how to, and some
don’t. Other Christians know how to, but still don’t. It tells us in the Word of
God that believing Christians can resist the Holy Spirit and what He is trying
to do in their lives. God is not pleased when this happens. 2 Timothy 3:5 says
“They will act as if they are religious, but they will reject the power that
could make them godly” (2 Timothy 3:5). It even goes on to say “You must stay
away from people like that” (2 Timothy 3:5). Let’s walk in the Spirit, not the
flesh. Let’s not resist the power that could make us
godly.
Father, David could
not be a successful king without the Spirit of the Lord. We cannot be successful
Christians without the Spirit of the Lord either. Thank You for giving us the
Spirit of the Lord. May we choose to walk in the Spirit and not the flesh. May
we not resist the Holy Spirit and what You are trying to do in our lives. We do
not want to reject the power that could make us godly. Make us godly, Lord. All
to the glory of You. In Jesus’ name we pray.
Amen.
