Now a new chapter begins in
David's life though he was anointed by God through Samuel long ago as the
King but he had to run around for his life and take shelter here and
there, until the appointed time came.
He never demanded or argued or
fought for it. But simply waited in the mighty hands of God till God
lifted him up in due time.
Now David asked the LORD, if he should
move back to one of the towns of Judah, the LORD told him yes. Then David
asked, which town he should go? The LORD said Hebron. So David and his wives
and his men and their families all moved to Judah, and they settled in the villages
near Hebron.
Then the men of Judah came to David
and anointed him king over the people of Judah. David made Hebron his capital,
and he ruled as king of Judah for seven and a half years.
To Ponder:
He was 30 years old when he became
king of Judah. Though God has promised us certain blessings in our life, let's
not run behind it.
But wait for the appointed time
when God himself will give it to us in our hands.
And so are prophecies from the Lord.
Let us not run behind them, fixing our mind on them and finding ways to achieve
them. Let us not get restless, become depressed or question God for so called
'delays'. Instead, let us wait for the appointed time when God Himself will
give it to us in our hands.
