# 1 Chronicles 11 #soap ## Title: Don’t Worry About Being Left Out ## Scripture: (1 Chronicles 11:2) “In the past, even when Saul was king, you were Israel’s commanding general. The Lord your God said to you, ‘You will shepherd my people Israel; you will rule over my people Israel.’”” (NET) ## Observation: David could have easily wondered if all those days of faithfulness were for nothing. Saul did all he could to ruin him. Would the people believe Saul? Did they even know all the good things David had done to keep the kingdom safe? Did all the credit go to Saul? It turns out God helped the people see who was really leading Israel all those years. Don’t let the enemy lie to you and cause you to think it is all for nothing or that you will not be remembered. Trust the Lord. He will cause you to be noticed by the right people, at the right time, for the right purpose. ## Application: Don’t worry about getting credit. Allow the Lord to push you forward when and if the time is right. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for helping us wait on Your timing.
