Meditating The Word1 Mai 2023

Day 121: 2 Samuel 5, 1 Chronicles 11-12

Today on Meditating the Word, David is anointed King of all Israel, Jerusalem is made capital of the Kingdom, the Philistines attack and are defeated; we read about David's Mighty Men, his followers in the wilderness and his army at Hebron.

This is Day 121. Today we are reading from the 2nd Book of Samuel chapter 5 and the 1st Book of Chronicles chapters 11 and 12

---- Father God, One of the big lessons we learn from David is that of patience. He was anointed when he was still a boy tending his father's sheep. But he patiently waited. He respected your anointing on King Saul, and would not rise against him. Sometimes it's hard to be patient. We want things now, in our own timing. But we recognize, Father, that you have to work through people, and sometimes -- especially when they are disobedient or are slow to obey, it affects others as well. So help us, Father, not only to be patient, but to also respond quickly to you and be obedient so we don't delay someone else's good. Thank you, Father, for showing us patience and mercy. Amen
