David was able to go into battle with confidence because he began his battle in prayer. When we call upon God’s power instead of fearing our circumstances, we are on the path to victory. In today’s devotional, Dr. Michael Youssef exhorts us to be alert to God’s guidance and aware of the schemes of the enemy.

[00:00:00] You are listening to MY Devotional, the Daily Devotional from Dr. Michael Youssef and Leading The Way.
[00:00:08] A Successful Warrior by Dr. Michael Youssef.
[00:00:13] David could go into battle confidently because he began his battle in prayer.
[00:00:18] We are on the path to victory when we call upon God's power instead of fearing our circumstances.
[00:00:24] The more time we spend praying and worshiping our Savior, the less we will feel afraid.
[00:00:31] The only way to be a Victoria's spiritual warrior is to start as a successful worshiper.
[00:00:37] Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me.
[00:00:41] At his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy I will sing and make music to the Lord.
[00:00:48] We become easy prey for the enemy when we forget to seek Him daily.
[00:00:53] The enemy is always present, ready to trip us up or lure us down the wrong path.
[00:00:59] Scripture warns us, be alert and of sober mind.
[00:01:03] Your enemy, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
[00:01:10] We desperately need God's guidance to lead us in the right direction.
[00:01:13] Yet when we neglect our relationship with God, we become insensitive to His voice.
[00:01:19] We need to remember David's cry.
[00:01:22] My heart says, if you seek His face, your face, Lord, I will seek.
[00:01:29] Let's pray together.
[00:01:31] Father help us to always start our day with prayer and worship.
[00:01:35] We pray this in the name of Jesus, amen.
[00:01:39] Do you know where to turn in brokenness?
[00:01:42] Have you exchanged self-reliance for absolute trust in the living God?
[00:01:48] In a heart for God, lessons from the life of David.
[00:01:51] Dr. Michael Yusuf takes you on a journey through the highs and the lows of David's life.
[00:01:57] As you explore His greatest victories and deepest failures in first and second Samuel,
[00:02:02] you'll see God's faithfulness to use willing vessels for His glory.
[00:02:06] As you experience David's most desperate cries and the Psalms,
[00:02:11] you'll witness the power of a life completely surrendered to God.
[00:02:16] As you see the grandeur picture of David's life, you'll also discover how it all points to Christ Jesus,
[00:02:23] the perfect king who uses broken people to do great things for His kingdom.
