DATE: TUE MAR 11 214 SUBJECT: I KNEW YOU WHEN... 1 Be careful around those who love to say, I knew you when.... in an attempt to label or limit you. When David volunteered to fight Goliath, his faith was an embarrassment to his big brother Eliab, an officer in King Sauls army. Eliab was thinking, if my little brother wins everybody will ask, how come you didnt go out to fight him? The Bible records that Eliab burned with anger at [David] and asked, why have you come down here? And with whom did you leave those few sheep in the desert? I know how conceited you are and how wicked your heart is (1 Sam 17:28NIV) SCRIPTURE REF: Mark 6:3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. (KJV) ACTION POINT: Understand this: your decision to step out and follow God will put pressure on others. And the first place you will feel it will be amongst those closest to you, especially if your calling sets you apart, and takes you to a higher level. Before David could overcome Goliath he had to overcome the thoughts and opinions of those around him. And you will too!
