Then the king instructed Zadok, “Return the ark of God to the city. If I find favor with the Lord, he will bring me back and allow me to see both it and its dwelling place.

Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never allow the righteous to be shaken.
We are not to have self reliance but to have faith and trust in the Lord for everything
The person who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence indeed is the Lord, is blessed.
He will be like a tree planted by water: it sends its roots out toward a stream, it doesn’t fear when heat comes, and its foliage remains green. It will not worry in a year of drought or cease producing fruit.
It is not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God.
Our Sustenance comes from the Lord.
Look to the Lord for your encouragement, your needs. He will never let you down.
God Knows all that will happen.
As a child of God, our steps are planned by Him for His end goal and purposes. Not our Own
Song: I cast all my cares upon You
I lay all of my burdens down at Your feet
And any time I don't know what to do
I will cast all my cares upon You
Where is our commitment? Are we committed and relying on God?
Is there anything left of our own self reliance? God has given us gifts and talents, but are we trusting in our own ability?
Those who are used in the kingdom of God aren’t those with the greatest ability but they are those with the greatest availability
Are you available to God? Are you committed to God?
Do You put your faith and trust in God or do you trust something or someone else?
