Grace Wins!

🛍️🛍️🛍️ Here’s what’s in stock today:

In 1 Samuel 30, David and his men return to Ziklag to find the city burnt to the ground and their wives, children, and cattle taken by the enemy. The pain was overwhelming—exhausting in the mind. And the Bible says: two hundred of the six hundred men were too exhausted to go on.

What’s important is that these men weren’t injured. In fact, they were returning from a battle they didn’t even take part in. Yet they were exhausted.

These two hundred men stayed behind at Brook Besor, while the remaining four hundred went on with David to recover everything that was lost. And sure enough, they got back all that was taken. But when the four hundred returned, David ensured that the rewards were shared equally with those who had stayed behind. Those who were too weak to fight still received the full reward.

This reflects God’s heart. The Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 12:9, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” The two hundred who were too exhausted to continue didn’t miss out. In their weakness, God’s strength was present.

So, if you’re feeling down today—emotionally drained, spiritually tired, or simply overwhelmed—keep your head up. God, El Roi, the God who sees me, sees your exhaustion. He knows the battles you’ve faced. And the promise still stands: you will share in the victory. Because the God who fights for us never fails, and in His goodness, He includes everyone in the reward.

Rest knowing that God is working on your behalf. In your weakness, He is strong. You’ll be part of the celebration—so get your drums, your guitars, and MAKE SOME NOISE!

🔑🔑🔑 Key takeaways:

• God’s strength shows up in our moments of weakness.

• You don’t have to fight to be part of the victory.

• In God’s eyes, your rest doesn’t disqualify you—it positions you.
