1 Kings 2:11 (NRSV) - 11 The time that David reigned over Israel was forty years; he reigned seven years in Hebron, and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.”
Today marks our 33 day count down to the end of this year. While David was told as a youth that he would be king, it wasn’t until many years and trials later that he was actually crowned. In today’s scripture we see that his reign was not a continuous, ‘sit-on-the-same-pew” kind of existence. He ruled from one location for a period of time that could have led him to believe that it would be a permanent spot; but his true calling was to govern from Jerusalem. When he made his home-base there; then he ruled for 33 years. You might be in a similar situation where you believe that you are in the ‘comfort zone’ of your existence; but God may have another plan in mind. Even if things are running smoothly and it seems that there is no need for change does not mean that God’s plan does not involve a move. Get your mind ready for the potential of a great move, promotion, or transformation.
Every day is a good day; it is up to us to make it a victoriously GREAT day. Be blessed! Rev. Dr. JoAnn
