This love of God is undeserved. He loves us so much despite our wickedness or sinful ways, but He still chooses to shower us with His love. Paul puts it very well in 1 Timothy 1:12-17. He persecuted Christians and calls himself the worst of sinners. But the Lord still revealed Himself to him and saved him. None of us is too far away from the love of God. Believe it and receive it.

The love of God is beyond comprehension. Even David struggled to fathom how deep this love is. Saul sent men to watch David’s house in order to kill him. David had the grace to sing praises to God despite his situation. He understood that no matter what he faced, God loved him. He also knew that God could rescue him, because He loved him. Psalm 59:16-17.

Employers, sports coaches, business partners, etc look for various characteristics in those they employ, coach and relate with. Among them are *reliability* and the *ability to learn*. David possessed these two qualities in 1 Samuel 17:16-39. He did everything his father and the king asked him to do. The same can be seen in his early years as king. May we possess these qualities consistently.

The gifts and skill set that God has given us are adequate for providing solutions for us and others as we are glorifying God and creating lasting impact. Many marvel at the story of David and Goliath. David didn’t need an automatic rifle to fell the man who had tormented Israel. He used what he was accustomed to. But even he claimed it wasn’t by any weapon that he would succeed, rather he attacked Goliath in the name of the Lord. The Lord will often use our faith and what He has placed in our hands. 1 Samuel 17:45-50.

Gifts should glorify God, then be of service to others. They will also push one into the limelight. As we serve others with our gifts, God’s glory becomes evident. The blessing to others is of great impact to them and makes us stewards of God’s grace to them. It is not a small matter. 1 Peter 4:10-11.

Are there other people with similar gifts and skill set as you? Yes there are. But the Lord will still use you as He determines. Yours is to follow His lead and allow Him to work through you to accomplish His purposes. He sees beyond what we see. Exodus 7:10-12.

Jehovah asked Moses, what he had in his hand. He had a staff. The Lord used that staff and other means to show Pharaoh signs and wonders that finally convinced him to release the Israelites from slavery. What do you have in your hand? What talents and opportunities has the Lord given you? Are you using them for His glory? Do these help you and others? Exodus 4:1-5; Proverbs 22:29.

God is also a comforter. Loss is a tough thing to deal with. Even if we see it coming, its impact hits hard. Unexpected loss is even harder to deal with. May the words of Psalm 34:17-20 bring comfort to all dealing with loss. Cry out to the Lord for He is the best comforter. He is close to the brokenhearted and those who are crushed in spirit. He can deliver us from all our troubles.

God is a promise keeper too. He honours His word and fulfills His promises. I trust that we shall keep walking with Him and discovering the many promises He has for us. Joshua reminded the leaders of Israel about this character of Jehovah in Joshua 23:14. May we be able to say the same thing concerning our relationship with God.

God is a blesser. It is in His nature to bless. He does this also so that He may be known. He determines how each of us will be blessed for He knows us. May this be evident in our lives and may we always remember to count our blessings and appreciate Him for what He has done, is doing and will do. Psalm 67:1-7.
