LIFE AS A SINGLE

AAA

 In the midst of hardship, can you imagine God is blessing you? He is blessing you with AAA!  People seem to attack you, doors close, financial woes, but God has blessings for you, that’s plural. The backdrop to the storyline, David running from King Saul into the wilderness as confirmed by his brother, Jonathon, his father, King Saul’s intent to kill David.      

David suddenly in transition, has nothing!  Ahimelech, the priest, feeds David and his men, arms them with Goliath’s weapons, and enquires of the Lord for him.  Life sometimes pushes you out into the unexpected, on your knees, and in disarray! It could be the death of a loved one, layoff, bankruptcy, a wayward child, or you just didn't make the team.  Your mind, your heart, will shift with you mind in survival mode.

Perhaps, you've never experienced a situation like this but David was in flight mode. Yet, God used the death of Abiathar's father, Ahimelech, and David's situation to birth a life long relationship.  We all need those who are loyal, faithful, and supportive.  I mean who wouldn't want a good wingman, best friend, colleague, or teammate to reassure and undergird you?  David exclaimed:

“I knew it! When I saw Doeg the Edomite there that day, I knew he was sure to tell Saul. Now I have caused the death of all your father’s family. 23 Stay here with me, and don’t be afraid. I will protect you with my own life, for the same person wants to kill us both.” 1 Sam 22:22-23

In the midst of the adversity or loss God built an AAA, Alliances in Adversity to Advance destiny!  These alliances are pure, passionate, because your present position is powerless to offer benefits to others.  The alliance between Abiathar and David would remain until King David’s death.  Who knew what God was doing? God was building David’s cabinet and power team!

When you're going through adversity look around, who is with you?  God is revealing your AAA! Alliances are powerful, priceless, and purpose-filled when God builds them. 

In the midst of adversity God is building T.H.AN.KS.:

Trust

Hearing
Alliances
Nowledge
Kindness
Supernaturally

Adversity is trusting. David, was learning to Trust God with his life, his men, and in 1 Sam 30 the families of his men.  That’s sound like a shift in a small church, business, community or family to me. 

Adversity is a tuning. The voice of God was David’s lifeline in so many ways.  Is God’s voice to you?  David’s Hearing was like Samuel in 1 Sam 3, as hearing in the Hebrew means to listen, hear, and obey, as one distinguishes voice of : God, self, and the enemy.  God brought Ruth to Naomi, Jethro to Moses, Silas to Paul, and so many other strategic relationships in the word of God.

Adversity is a teacher. Then God was giving David Nowledge, revelation for NOW and knowledge to rule as king.  There is no better wisdom than saving wisdom of today when a King Saul is determined you won't see tomorrow!   

Adversity is touchy.  David’s Kindness and character was revealed dealing with the foolish, Nabal. Adversity will present foolish enemies and reveal the best or worse in us.  We don't always pass the test. David passed and gained another alliance in receiving Abigail as his wife 1 Sam 25. God Supernaturally does this when we rely upon His voice.  He will strategically position people around us. 

My friend, God is building His vision, dreams, desires for your business, family, home, and beyond in adversity.  Adversity is your moment of transition to your triumphal entry! In the midst of adversity remember, ma’am, sir, God is watching over His word to perfect and perform it.  God has Alliances in Adversity to Advance your destiny!  There is a door opening experience, Expect it, Anticipate it today!
