And David had success

      in all his undertakings,

for the LORD was with him.

                1 Samuel 18. 14

(The question is not

       is the LORD with us,

but are we with Him in this?

God brings great victory

through what looks like

      a simple act of obeying Him.

David followed God into it,

and He takes care of the outcome.

Our obedience to God

and God's victory in it

always impacts

   the welfare of many people.)
