Jehovah's Preservation

And Jehovah preserved David wherever he went. 2 Sam 8:6b,14b.

Jehovah's preservation kept David from being harmed and killed, even the anointed king of Israel could do nothing. This verse impressed me deeply. The Lord's preservation is all that kept David all the while and this is all that I need too.

These days as I have been coordinating with the saints in the Body for the increase and expansion of His kingdom, the invisible spiritual battle is fierce. Attacks from all angle at times seem to thwart the onward path  of victory, however, the fact is, the battle is being fought in victory, not for victory but a display of the victory accomplished by the Lord. 

Participating in propagation, raising up churches and shepherding the saints are all done in the Lord and in His preservation. Otherwise I sure would faint and become dry by now. However, quite contrary to what factually could have been, the Lord's might and strength and the Spirit's power operating in me supplied me richly. I enjoyed the divine dispensing through the divine dispensing to the saints. Physically and psychologically I sure would have fainted, measuring the quantum of work load being carried out literally and  physically, but the Lord's grace in His preservation preserves me and keeps me going on and on. Praise the Lord!

Moreover, in the Body of Christ, all the members function in a coordinated way and the enemy has no ground in the Body-life for no one member bears all or most, but each according to the portion ordained by the Lord. Hallelujah! This is what I have been experiencing.

Lord, continually preserve me in the Body, wherever I go and whatever I do, in coordination with the Body; in oneness with one another and with You.
