Ask Jesus Christ.

"Shall I go and take control of one of the towns in Judah?" "Yes.", the Lord answered. "Which one?" David asked. "Hebron.", the Lord said. So David went to Hebron taking with him his two wives: Ahinoam, who was from Jezrel, and Abigail, Nabal's widow who was from Carmel. He also took his men and their families, and they settled in the town around Hebron and anointed David as king of Judah." -2Samuel 2:1-4

Revelation:

1. David asked the Lord.

2. The Lord answered.

"Yes.", the Lord answered.

"Call to Me, and I will answer you. I will tell you wonderful and miraculous things you know nothing about." - Jeremiah 33:3

• He hears us. (how can He answer our prayers if he isn't listening?)
• The Lord cares. (He is more than willing to give us the right path and direction, if we are just listening.)

3. David took his family with him.

"So David went to Hebron taking with him his two wives: Ahinoam, who was from Jezrel, and Abigail, Nabal's widow who was from Carmel. He also took his men and their families."

• David was kept safe and tenth of his family.
• God has been a good provider to them.

One of the best thing about being God's servant is the thought of serving the King of all Kings. There are a lot of people better than me and you but hey, isn't it great to know that He chooses us? Serving Him will never be a burden, it is a blessing and privilege at the same time. I know I am not worthy to be call His servant but through Him and His grace, in my nothingness, by faith I know He will use me.

Dear God, I know I am not worthy to be call Your child, and with all humility dear Father, I am offering You my life, let this life that You have given me honor You for as long as You want. Give me the courage Lord God to stand firm in Your righteousness and I pray Abba Father that whenever people will see me, they will see You and how awesome is Your love for me. I love You Father. In the sweetest name of my Lord and savior Jesus Christ, I pray, Amen.
