What To Do When You Keep Losing The Same Battle

Some battles you fight again and again, and the wall still stands. David knew that feeling.David was bold, gifted and deeply loved by God, and he was also deeply flawed. He gave in to lust, let pride take the reins, and failed to act justly when it mattered most. Yet God stayed with him, not because David never fell, but because he knew how to get back up and fall to his knees. In today's five-minute devotional we look at 2 Samuel 5:10 and discover that God doesn't ask for your strength. He asks for your surrender.Today's reflection: Where do I need to stop striving and start leaning on God's strength today?Subscribe for a fresh five-minute devotional every weekday.
