David Knew

2 Samuel 5-6

Passage

King David is known as a “man after God’s heart”. This we can see through his mindset. When the Philistines were attacking Israel he did not lean on his battle experience. He inquired of the Lord and waited for God to respond. When the battle was complete and Israel celebrated victory, David recognized God as the One who gave them the victory.

Even when things did not go as planned, like when they were bringing the Ark of the Covenant back to Jerusalem after it was captured by the Philistines. David realized that they had not followed God’s instructions and took a step back to ask and wait for God to direct them, instead of trying to do it on their own..

Many times in our lives when we experience setbacks our first response is to fix it, establish blame, or just give up. We may even question God, asking “Why?” or lose trust. What we need to do is stop, be honest with ourselves, seek God and wait for His response. through this we can understand the greatness of God, realizing He is in control, and has a purpose for us.
