Reading – 1 Chronicles 13-15

Highlight Verse:

“So David’s fame spread everywhere, and the Lord caused all the nations to fear David.”

‭‭1 Chronicles‬ ‭14‬:‭17‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Words like “so” should always have something that lead up to it being there.

In this case, source of the “so” was David’s faithfulness to the Lord’s instructions.

That lead the leaders of the nations around him to fear and respect him.

I am writing this commentary very late at night this time because I just got home from a Josiah Queen concert.

Through his faithfulness to his calling, including how he puts worship and ministry into his shows, Josiah has built a reputation for being genuine and excellent.

Because of that, the Fillmore was more packed than I have ever seen it.

And the Lord moved people through worship, prayer, and a little preaching.

It wasn’t just a good concert; it was a night of ministry.

Do the math – Faithfulness to God’s calling + consistency = reputation.

How are you working toward an excellent reputation?

What is the next step in that process for you?
