Given David’s giftedness—he was a musician, a poet, a fearless warrior and an inspiring leader—it is hard to imagine that he was not ambitious, but he wasn’t. Had he been ambitious he would have tried to advance himself but he refused to do so. As far as he was concerned, his life and his destiny were in the Lord’s hands, far be it from him to try and force something to happen. What about you? Are you trusting the Lord to direct your steps or are you taking matters into your own hands?
All a person’s ways seem pure to them,
— Proverbs 16:2 (NIV)
but motives are weighed by the LORD.
Lord Jesus, root out all personal ambition from my life. Help me to trust You only with my future. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
