Is there not a cause?

“And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause?” 1 Samuel 17:29 KJV

When David spoke these words, he was not merely defending himself from his brothers’ misunderstanding; he was affirming his sense of purpose. Every challenge in life, every battle you face, carries a divine reason. There is a cause, even if you cannot see it yet. I encourage you to look for the godly reason behind every event. Your interpretation of your situation determines your response and outcome. The way you see it is powerful, but the way God sees it is supreme. You must see it the way God sees it. Romans 8:28 reminds us that “all things work together for good to them that love God.” Even when things appear confusing or painful, God is weaving a purpose through it all.

"Now the Lord had told Samuel the previous day, "About this time tomorrow, I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin. Anoint him to be the leader of my people, Israel..." 1 Samuel 9:15-16 (New Living)

Saul’s lost donkeys seemed like a random misfortune, yet it was God’s setup for his divine appointment. What looked like a frustrating errand was actually a pathway to destiny. In the same way, what appears as delay, loss, or hardship in your life may be God’s method of positioning you for something greater. There is a reason, and it is good!

Prophetic Word: I decree that the outcome of your present challenge shall be positive and good, in Jesus’ name. What was meant to weary you will work for you; what was meant to break you will build you, in Jesus’ name

Prayer: Oh God, show me something concerning what I am passing through. Open my eyes to see Your purpose and align me with Your will. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
