And David had success

     in all his undertakings,

for the LORD was with him.

                      1 Samuel 18. 14

(Far deeper than 

        we can ever know.

God is faithful,

    even when we cannot see

                         the outcome.

The LORD never works

     in singular dimensions).

...and chose five smooth stones

            from the brook...

                          1 Samuel 17. 40

(What do I choose

   to bring with me into the day?

God's Word,

prayer,

faithfulness,

grace,

     and love.

Even in this.

Even with this).

For the LORD sees

      not as man sees;

man looks on the outward appearance,

        but the LORD looks on the heart.

                      1 Samuel 16. 7

(Be my vision, O LORD.

Help me to see others differently,

  help me to know Your deeper love

that makes the invisible

                                 visible.

New eyes,

new heart.

"I never saw that before,

    I never saw it that way.")

          

...it may be 

       that the LORD will work for us,

for nothing 

               can hinder the LORD

from saving by many or by few.

                      1 Samuel 14. 6

(Never underestimate the power of God.

God specializes in impossible situations.

"The odds" never limit

               what only God can do.

They just reveal His power.

We don't just squeak through,

       God brings us through.

I don't know what to do!

My part is to seek the LORD,

        not just an answer).

Now therefore stand still

  and see this great thing,

which the LORD will do

          before your eyes.

               1 Samuel 12. 16

(Realizing the greatness 

and power of God.

Even in this).

"There is a lad here

who has five barley loaves

            and two fish,

but what is that

    among so many?"

               John 6. 9

(What is that?

More than enough 

           for God.

Because it is 

    not just about you.

God never works

       in singular ways.

God multiplies).

They were frightened,
but He said to them,
  "It is I;
    do not be afraid."

                  John 6. 19-20

(God is in this.
Walk with Him through it).
