When we depend on God in whatever we do, we know that He will guide and help us. We see this happening in today's reading. When David was anointed king, not everyone was excited or supportive about him being king. The Jebusites did not accept David as king and even dared to say: "You will not get in here. The blind and the lame will hold you off. (That is to say: David will never get in here.)" But David captured the fortress of Zion, and he did so not on his own accord, but because "the Lord, the God of Hosts, was with him."
Sometimes we try to depend on our own strength and abilities to accomplish something. At times, our efforts may not bear the kind of results we hope for. However, as king David has shown us, we can accomplish greater things if we are humble and patient enough to seek God's help. Are we still refusing to let God be our dependable guide?
