"Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought gifts.
And the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.
14And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all they of Edom became David's servants.
And the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went." 2 Samuel 8: 6, 14
As I read 2 Samuel 8 today, these two scriptures spoke to me. David had been at war with his enemies. He took on all comers and he won. Wherever he decided to go, God preserved him.
In life, we are faced with many obstacles. Some we choice to confront, some that come as a surprise. As David learned, no matter where we find ourselves God is there preserving us. We can face today with full confidence that God has His hands on our life. We don't have to fear the adversity that comes our way. We also don't have to run from any battles that are before us. We can overcome all battles through our faith in God. God has placed greatness in us and when we realize who we are, no enemy stands a chance against us. Walk with confidence, God has your back.
