One of the
things I think we can take away from the story of David is his willingness to
live his faith and his beliefs right there on the line! Sometimes, his passion got the better of him. Sometimes, like in the story of Nabal and
Abigail, it almost got the best of him.
But, you cannot help but appreciate his courage and his willingness to
take risks to see good ends come about.
G.K. Chesterton once wrote, “A man who thinks much about success must be
the drowsiest sentimentalist; for he must be always looking back.”
David was a man of action! What a wonderful example as we think about
our day-to-day lives that could use an infusion of some of that forward
movement. Maybe it is a friend you feel
you should be sharing the gospel with.
Perhaps it is a note or a card you need to send. It could be a relationship that you need to
take a step forward to repair, or a ministry you have been dreaming of being
involved in.
David’s story is given to
point us to Jesus and also to give us some great examples of living a life
after God’s own heart.
