DON'T MESS AROUND WITH VICTORY

"The Philistines had abandoned their gods there, and David gave orders to burn them in the fire." I Chronicles 14:12

After battling the Philistines David didn't mess around. He sought God. He acted in faith and fought the battle. God granted him victory. 

As usual the enemy left a little temptation for David and the troops. A bunch little idols. 

David didn't need to ask God what to do with them, he knew. Get rid of them. Burn them and make them useless even as an object of worship. 

Is there something in your life that you need to get rid of? Do you find yourself tempted by the same thing over and over again, especially after a victory?

Get rid of it. Burn it. Don't mess around. Seek Christ and rest in him. 

Jesus, thank you for the victory we have in Christ over sin. Help us to continue to turn to you, even after our victories. Praise be to you in us today!
