Ezekiel 35:13 Thus with your mouth you have boasted against Me and multiplied your words against Me; I have heard them.

When we have a successful life we tend to boast about the things we do and about our achievements to others.

Whilst we should be able to talk openly about what we do, we should never forget just how we are able to do those things.

God has enabled us to do many thing, but unless we are acknowledging Him for our gifts, then we are robbing Him of the glory.

God waits patiently to receive our adoration and praise.

Ezekiel 34:23 I will establish one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them—My servant David. He shall feed them and be their shepherd.

When we look back on the prophecies throughout the old testament on the coming of our Good Shepherd we can only be encouraged that we know He has already come.

Jesus came to fulfil the prophecies and show us we can stand on God’s promises throughout time.

His promises are not bound by our lifespans like ours are. They are eternal and absolutely sure.

Give your praise to God today to show your faith.

Psalm 89:3 I have made a covenant with My chosen, I have sworn to My servant David:

The Lord Jesus would be born to the lineage of David; this was foretold by the prophets.

Jesus is born as the Messiah to a virgin of little or no standing in society.

Yet the promise of making a kingdom has come to pass just as it was foretold and promised by our awesome God.

We can continue to stand on His promises just as they have been made in the past and we can look forward to living our lives fully with Christ!

Psalm 78:70 He also chose David His servant, And took him from the sheepfolds;

When others were looking to the sons of Jesse as soldiers, leaders and worthy sons, David was being quietly ignored as the lowly shepherd boy.

Samuel was told to reject each of the older brothers and to even ask for more children when David had been left out of the selection to start with.

Moses was tending to sheep at the time he was called to serve God.

If we are willing servants to start with God will be able to use us without having to fight us for obedience!
