VIII. MAIN BODY:

A. Like David became greater and greater, we will also grow the same

"David became greater and greater,"

As righteous people we hold to the ways of the LORD, as we do this, the requirements are done and the promise is we will grow stronger and stronger.

Job 17:9 (Amplified Bible)

17:9 Yet shall the righteous (those upright and in right standing with God) hold to their ways, and he who has clean hands shall grow stronger and stronger.

Proverbs 4:18 (Amplified Bible)

4:18 But the path of the [uncompromisingly] just and righteous is like the light of dawn, that shines more and more (brighter and clearer) until [it reaches its full strength and glory in] the perfect day [to be prepared].

Philippians 2:15 (Amplified Bible)

2:15 That you may show yourselves to be blameless and guileless, innocent and uncontaminated, children of God without blemish (faultless, unrebukable) in the midst of a crooked and wicked generation [spiritually perverted and perverse], among whom you are seen as bright lights (stars or beacons shining out clearly) in the [dark] world,

Matthew 5:14 (Amplified Bible)

5:14 You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.

Our growth : spiritual, physical and financial is much infinitely better than that of King David's because we live in the New testament of Free Grace through faith. King Solomon's growth in the financial is only based on the faithfulness of his father, King David, but our growth in everything is based on the LORD JESUS's faithfulness.
