This Sunday's message: The Song of Zechariah

May 18

Today's Reading: 2 Samuel 5:1-25

The events in this chapter take place about 15 years after David was first chosen to be king of Israel. During that time, Saul had pursued David in order to try and kill him and keep him from becoming king. But David was patient, even when he had the opportunity to take things into his own hands and kill Saul and become king.

I am reminded here of the times in my own life when I tried to take things into my own hands rather than patiently waiting for God to work in my life. In some cases the outcome was predictably not very profitable in my life. But in other cases, God was gracious and continued to work in my  life in spite of my impatience. But I sure don't want to presume that He will always do that. Are you willing to wait for God to work in your life or are you constantly trying to force His hand by getting ahead of HIm?
