Shalom,

Today's devotional on The Spoken Word Church website syas this:

Study Champions

David was a champion. Samuel was a champion. They walked the path of obedience. Learn from their mistakes, successes and lives. Losers build their lives around their weaknesses. Champions build their lives around their strengths.

You are destined for greatness, too. Talk it. Believe it. Live it. Champions simply use the key of obedience.

"And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae, of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: 33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, 34 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens." (Hebrews 11:32-34)

So many times people like to point out those who have failed or fallen short in their particular position, whether it be in ministry or in some other professional capacity. I have never understood that! It does not make YOU higher to belittle another! Instead, we should be a DOER of the Word we see here! Remember the champions! Celebrate victories! Learn from mistakes. Your own (experience) or that of others (Wisdom)! Make it YOUR habit to encourage, lift up and be a blessing to everyone you come in contact with! GOD will reward you accordingly! AMEN!

Shalom in Him!
