WRITING "LETTER FROM GOD" 14
Thank you for your interest in the life of David, a true servant of
the Lord. God chose David to be the king of his people, the
Israelites. Book 13 covered the Lord’s preparation of this young
shepherd to be God’s greatest king of all time. While tending his
father’s sheep, the Lord trained David to be a fantastic warrior and
leader with confidence and courage.
As a young shepherd, when David wanted to know about the Lord, the
Lord gave him revelation messages. When David wanted to know more,
the Lord gave him more revelation and David’s love and trust for the
Lord grew.
Using God’s messages gave David the Lord’s thinking. David wrote
songs from these messages and sang them to calm the sheep. These
were the songs David sang to calm King Saul. Throughout his life,
David continued to write and compose songs about the Lord. We are
grateful we have these songs today in the book of Psalms in God’s
letter, our Bible.
Traveling through David’s reign, we share David’s excitement as he
found and brought the Ark of the Lord back into the Tabernacle.
David knew the Ark, with the Lord’s presence, was an important part
of the worship service of God’s people.
We felt the awe David had for the Lord when he received the promises
that were an extension of the contract promises given to Abraham.
The Lord promised David that he was the first of a dynasty that
would continue forever! From David’s descendants would come the
promised Messiah-Savior who would rule forever!
We see how fast the dying David moved when he heard his son Adonijah,
with the help of the high priest Abiathar and General Joab, set
himself up as King of Israel. David knew God chose his son Solomon
to be the next king of Israel.
We share the happiness of the dying David as his son Solomon was
anointed king. David was overjoyed as he handed young Solomon the
blueprints of the temple David received from the Lord.
Today we see lessons for us from the life of David. His patient
waiting for God’s timing to take over the reign of the country and
his decisions when he took his eyes off the Lord and left the plan
of God. These decisions show us that if the winner believer David
can fail and recover, so can we.
We need to learn from David’s mistakes and victories. We noted that
when David confessed and took in more of God’s messages, he became a
stronger winner believer enjoying the Lord’s many blessings.
