He understood how to draw strength from the Lord. David went through a lot of ups and downs in his life, but in the end, the spirit of God bore witness that he fulfilled destiny and served God's purpose in his own generation(see Acts 13:36).ĭavid had one secret that carried him through the battles of life and he always came out victorious.

Because of this, we are inheritors of the blessing of Abraham (see Gal 3:13-14). This is the Christian mindset: we are no longer defined according to our earthly identity, but our spiritual identity means we are descendants of Abraham because of our union with Christ who is the true seed of Abraham (see Gal 3:16).
