                            Trust Me


My sufficiency will always equal the charge of the battle.  David's army 
grew as the need grew.  He didn't need the 600 when the 200 was 
sufficient.  The things you seek are not the need for the now, but as 
the need is presented the supply is available. 

Why seek more of me?  I gave you my all.  Receive Me.  Did you receive 
only part of Me when you ask Me into your heart?  Which part did you not 
receive?  Can a man only receive a part of One that stands at his door?  
You invite the whole man in.  I came in My entirety, I abide in My 
entirety.  My supply is always available, you do not have to make 
yourself anxious over future needs.  I am there every day, every hour; 
and My grace is sufficient.  My supply is abundant, but both are as 
needed.  Do not be anxious, be content, learn of Me, learn of My ways.  
Peace of mind comes through that knowledge, knowing that I am a covenant 
God and I am a faithful God.

Count; you count, the times I have failed you.  Count; you count, the 
times I was not on time in all sufficiency.  Is there one?  Count again 
and recount, encourage yourself with the number.  How can I fail?  My 
word says I am all-knowing, all-powerful, and ever-present, and that if 
you ask you shall receive.  Surely you understand...these are not 
difficult words, but words of sure encouragement. 

Do not weary yourself with who you are in Me, and where will I be in 
your need.  I have said I will never leave you or forsake you, and I 
have not, nor will I change.  I remain the same, the same God that David 
knew, Protector he knew, the Host of the battle that went before him, 
the Supplier of every need at the time of need.  My supply is timed.  I 
gave David the sling for the battle, but gave him the sword for the 
victory. You would have wanted the sword, that which looked more 
battle-ready and sure for the battle.  I know what you need.  It may not 
always look like you think it should, but like David, I use only what 
has been tried. 

Trust Me, you will never be ill-prepared; you will never be alone.  The 
battles are still Mine, the victories are still yours.  When the 
progression of the enemy is evident in your life, count, recount, 
rehearse aloud.  These are not idle words, but a victory chant of My 
faithfulness.  Your words or rehearsal are seeds for victory.  Again I 
say count, recount aloud, plant and harvest.  See I have a plan.  It has 
not failed with time, and it will stand through eternity.

Can you see the sufficiency of God in the life of a shepherd that makes 
him a king?  I had a plan for David's life.  I have a plan for you, and 
I am able to perfect it.  David was My chosen; Saul was the people's 
chosen.  The perfection of the plan for your life lies in whom you chose 
to please.  David was a man after my heart.
