THE MAN GOD ELEVATES
Acts 13:22 ERV "After God took Saul away, God made David their king. This is what God said about David: ‘David, the son of Jesse, is the kind of person who does what pleases me. He will do everything I want him to do.’"
When the righteous is in authority the people rejoice. God seeks to put believers in places of authority, but He is looking for men and women He can trust.
We've seen believers compromise in office; like Saul, they were corrupted by the power and authority of whatever office they occupied. And even though they might still be attending church, they are not as yielded to God as they used to be; they no longer pray as they used to, they've surrounded themselves with too many advisers and ignored the counsel of the Lord.
God made David king because He trusted David. He trusted David to do only what pleased Him and to be obedient to Him. Do you want God to elevate you in life? Then become a person that can be trusted to do only what's pleasing to Him; a man or woman whose personal desires and will are subjected to the will of God.
