When the pressure of life happens our human proclivity tends to look for someone or something to blame. We look for what was the cause and effect of the matter. Blaming our enemies, haters, or the devil for the outcome. But what if it had to happen that way. That very thing you are desiring and working hard to obtain or achieve is the very thing that God wants you to let go of. Sometimes he will take that very thing from you because it was not meant to be apart of your destiny. It had to happen, no matter how deep the cut or hurt if it’s not purposeful let it go.
There is a particular passage in the book of 2 Samuel that speaks on how even the chosen King David had sinned. By impregnating Uriah’s wife Bathsheba, David was not exempt from God taking something from him that wasn’t part of his destiny. The text states that on the seventh day the Lord struck the child. It wasn’t his enemy or haters, not even the devil can get credit. But the Lord decided to remove what wasn’t apart of his purpose for David’s destiny. Yes, it hurt and no amount of prayer and fasting could have changed the fate of the child. But that didn’t stop the plan of God for David or Bathsheba.
Why are you worried Bathsheba, let them refer to you as Uriah’s wife. You are the seed of Eliam, God is my nation. The calamity won’t change the projection of your status. Your womb will birth the next king, who will walk in the authority of the Lord. You now look down from the palace you once looked up at. Your tears paid the way for your next level.
What are you focusing on? Are you so wrapped up in your current circumstances that you are unable to see past your pain? Are you holding on to something God wants you to let go of? Are you looking for someone to blame for your situation? Get over it so you can focus on the new thing that God is bringing forth in your life. If David and Bathsheba didn’t get past their grief from the loss of their first child, Solomon wouldn’t have been born.
I encourage you today, to let go of the dead thing. That thing that is not purposeful or producing fruit for your life. Look beyond the cost of letting go so you can focus on your next new thing. Let go of what is in your hands so you can get what is in God’s hands.

David went and comforted his wife Bathsheba. And when he slept with her, they conceived a son. When he was born they named him Solomon. God had a special love for him and sent word by Nathan the prophet that God wanted him named Jedidiah (God’s Beloved).
