but I shall meditate the next day and night that

I may observe to do according to all that is

written in it. For then I'll make my way prosperous,

and then I will have good success.

Amen.

Today's message is titled know your Place Part one, Anna

God's Order. Know your Place Part one, honor God's Order.

Our scripture reading shall be taken from First and More

Chapter twenty four, verse one to eight. First Some World

Chapter twenty four, vers one to eight. I will be

reading from the New King James version. Now what's happened

when Saul had returned from following the Philistians, that it

was sold him, saying, take notes. David is in the

wilderness of Angey. Then saw to three thousand chosen men

from all Israel, and went to seek David and his

men on the rocks of the wild goods. So he

came to the ship folds by the road, where there

was a king, and Saul went in to attend to

his needs. David and his men were staying in the

recesses of the king. Then the men of David said

to him, this is the day of which the Lord

said to you. Behold, I will deliver your enemy into

your hand, that you may do to him as it

seems good to you. And David arose and secretly cut

off a corner of Saul's road. Now it happened afterwards

that David had troubled him because he had cut Saul's rope.

And he said to his maid, the Lord forbid that

I should do this thing to my master, the Lord's anointed,

to stretch out my hand against him, saying he is

the anointed of the Lord. So David restrained his servants

with these words and did not allow them to rise

against Saul. And Saul got up from the cave and

went on his way. David also arose afterward, went out

of the cave and called out a Saul, say, my

lord the king. And when Saul looked behind him, David

stoop with his face to the earth and bowed down.

The Lord add his blessings to the reading and hearing

of his way. Thanks be to God.

Amen, know your place part one anna God's order. Have

you ever listened to a beautiful orchestra? Perhaps dozens of

musicians are seated on one stage, each holding a different instrument.

The violin never tries to become the trumpet. The drama

does not interrupt the pianist. Every musician understands one simple truth.

There is a part assigned to me, and there are

parts assigned to others. The beauty of the music depends

on everyone remaining in their place. Now, imagine what would

have happened if everyone suddenly decided to become the lead.

The music would instantly become noise, not because the musicians

lacked talent, but because they abandoned their place. God's kingdom

is no different. Our God is not the author of

confusion but of peace First Corinthians fourteen, the verse thirty three.

He has established order, appointed authority, and assigned responsibilities. Whenever

we step outside the place he has given us, harmony

slowly gives way to confusion. Sadly, many of life's greatest

disappointments begin exactly this way. We step into places God

never assigned to us. We speak when we should remain silent.

We act when God has not sent us. We assume

authority he never gave us. Whenever God's order is ignored,

confusion is never far behind. Opening passage presented us with

one of the greatest examples of humility in all of scripture.

David had every opportunity to kill Saul. Human reasoning said

it was the perfect moment. Even David's own men interpreted

the situation as God's approval, urging him to strike. After all,

was this not the very king who had hunted David

like an animal through the wilderness. But David saw something

they did not. Quietly, he crept towards Saul and cut

off only a corner of his robe. Yet immediately afterwards,

the Bible tells us that David's heart troubled him because

he had done even that. Why because Saul, despite all

his failures, was still the Lord's anointed. To that, moving

Saul from the throne belonged to God, not to him.

His responsibility was not to seize God's rule, but to

remain faithful to his own. What is even more remarkable

is that David learned from that encounter. When another opportunity

presented itself in Saul's camp, he did not even touch

his garment. Spiritual growth is often seen in the mistakes

we refuse to repeat. Years later, after Saul had fallen

in battle and Amalakite came running to David, claiming that

he had delivered a final blow to the wounded king.

Perhaps he expected Anna from eliminating David's greatest enemy. Instead,

David asked him one serting question, how was it you

are not afraid to put forth your hand to destroy

the Lord's are not inted? Second Sumul, chapter one, the

verse fourteen. David then ordered that the man be executed.

David understood something that many believers are still learning today.

God never asked him to remove Saul. He only asked

David to remain David beloved. This lesson reaches far beyond

kings and kingdoms. We live in a generation where everyone

has a platform, an opinion, and a voice. It has

become easy to criticize, radical, condemned, and publicly tear down

those whom God has placed in positions of responsibility. This

is not to suggest that leaders are beyond correction. Saul

was not David himself will later fail, but even correction

has an order. Paul therefore instructed Timothy, do not rebeak

an older man, but exhort him as a father, younger

men as brothers, older women as mothers, younger women as sisters,

with all purity firstimoti five the verst one to two.

Notice that scripture does not forbade correction. It teaches us

the spirit in which correction should be given. Anna is

never suspended simply because someone has failed. Even Anna has

an order. One of the greatest evidences of spiritual maturity

is not how boldly we can speak, but how faithfully

we can summit. There is tremendous peace in knowing where

our responsibility ends and where God begins. What God has

reserved for himself, leave for him what He has assigned

to you. Do faithfully. Many blessings are not lost because

the devil is powerful. They are lost because pride quietly

persuades people to forget their place. Beloved, know your place

an a God's order. Resist the temptation to take into

your own hands what belongs to God. Walk humbly before God,

trusting that the God who raises up is also the

God who brings down in his own time. Your calling

is not to control his work, but to remain faithful

to yours. May the Lord grant as the humility to

know our place, the wisdom to honor his order, and

the grace to leave in his hands what only he

can do. God wishly bless you. Let us kindly take

our memory verse for today. Our memory verse for today

is taken from Romance, Chapter twelve, the verse three. Romance,

Chapter twelve, the verse three. For I say, through the

grace given to me, to everyone who is among you,

not to think of himself more highly than he ought

to think, but to think soberly. For I say, through

the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you,

not to think of himself more highly than he ought

to think, but to think soberly. Aimen, let us kindly

share a word of prayer our heavely. Father, thank you

for this truth. We kindly asked that you teach us

to work humbly before you deliver us from pride, presumption,

and every desire to step beyond the place you have

assigned to us. Help us to honor your order, trust

your timing, and remain faithful to the responsibilities you have

entrusted into our hands. Give us the grace to leave

in your hands what belongs to you, while we faithfully

fulfill what you have entrusted to us. In Jesus's name.

Amen, God richly bless you for staying all through today's

morning glory devotion. Kindly join us again for another episode

tomorrow morning, by God's grace. At the same time for

the part two of this series. Know your place, and

so then remain humble, honor God's order and know your place.

God richly blessing shalom.
