Read 2 Samuel chapter 4 VERSE: 2 Samuel 4:9–David answered Rekab and his brother Baamah the sons of Rimmon the Beerathite, “As surely as the Lord live, who has delivered me out of every trouble.” TRUTH: With everything that David had been through, he continued to credit God and trust Him with the job of saving him. David didn’t assume that he was responsible for his own salvation, but that in every circumstance, God made a way for David to make it through. The same holds true today. God is actually moving and working to deliver us; we must wait on Him and His timing. Are we seeking and waiting…

Read 2 Samuel chapter 3 VERSE: 2 Samuel 3:1–The war lasted between the house of Saul and the house of David lasted a long time.

We must respect the position that God has allowed people to be in, even if we don’t agree with them. God has all authority and we must trust Him and His…

Read 2 Samuel chapter 1 VERSE: 2 Samuel 1:17–David took up this lament concerning Saul and his son Jonathan. TRUTH: Saul had been king, but Saul had also hunted David and tried to have him killed on numerous occasions. Even so, David didn’t rejoice when Saul was killed, but instead he was saddened and mourned the loss of the king that had once been anointed by God. David understood that Saul had made a choice not to follow God and those choices led Saul to do some evil things. Which will we choose. Will we make today a day that we follow God and hold to Him or will we…
