The LORD
Will Work Out
His Plans For My Life—
Of course, when we think of King David we usually only think of his bravery with the giant Goliath and his victories as a mighty warrior. We don’t stop to think about what a hard and difficult life King David lived most of his life. God had a plan for David’s life. King David had confidence that the Lord would work out all the plans that the Lord had for his life even though it was impossible for him to see how God was going to do it.
Scripture
8 The Lord will work out his plans for my life—
for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever.
Don’t abandon me, for you made me.
Observation
Most of King David’s life did not go as I think that King David thought it would.
Most of King David’s life was spent running and hiding from his enemies. He hid in caves and had King Saul trying hard to kill him. Then he had to flee for his life and the lives of his family when his own son Absalom rebelled against him.
Of course, when we think of King David we usually only think of his bravery with Goliath and his victories as a mighty warrior. We don’t stop to think about what a hard and difficult life King David lived most of his life.

I can identify with King David. How about you?
God has plans for my life and He will work them all out. God has plans for your life too.
Do you and I have King David size confidence in God?
Really - How big is our God?
I love King David’s short prayer in this verse, “Don’t abandon me, for you made me.”
Application
I
will pray King David’s prayer for my own life today. How about you?
Prayer
for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever.
Don’t abandon me, for you made me.
