2 Samuel 1-5
How many of you can say that life has worked itself out how you expected? Anyone? No? I don’t think there has ever been a person who can say that life has worked itself out how we thought it would. Life doesn’t work that way. God doesn’t work that way.
That’s something David discovered as well. His life had not worked itself out exactly like he’d expected or hoped. The road David traveled, like most of ours, was not smooth and straight. It had potholes, hills, curves, hairpin turns and unwanted detours.
As we begin a walk through 2 Samuel, which will take us through the second part of David’s life, which has just as many potholes, hills, curves, hairpin turns and detours as the first half, I want us to helicopter up and get a panoramic view of David’s life from the moment we were first introduced to him as a shepherd boy in 1 Samuel 16 to the moment he became king over all of Israel which we read about in 2 Samuel 5.1-4 where it says, “Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and said, “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh. 2 Previously, when Saul was king over us, you were the one who led Israel out and in. And the Lord said to you, ‘You will shepherd My people Israel, and you will be a ruler over Israel.’” 3So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them before the Lord at Hebron; then they anointed David king over Israel. 4David was thirty years old when he became king…”
What we read in verse 3, “they anointed David king over Israel,” was the fulfillment of a promise David received roughly 15 years earlier when Samuel, the old prophet, anointed him with oil and told him that he would be the next king over Israel.
That must have been a day to remember. It was one to write down in the old journal.
It was a life-changing day.
From that day forward, the way David looked at life, thought about life and his ...
