Dancing Before the Lord
Bringing the Ark to Jerusalem brought worship of Jehovah to the forefront of the people of Israel. David’s passion and joy was evident for all to observe because God was the center of his life.
Miraculous Breakthrough—Winning Strategy
Rather than relying on his own wisdom and ability, David habitually consulted the Lord in all his endeavors.
FOUNDATION (Psalm 21)
The king shall have joy in Your strength, O Lord;
And in Your salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
FOUNDATION (Psalm 20)
May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble; may the name of the God of Jacob defend you; may He send you help from the sanctuary, and strengthen you out of Zion . . .
TAKE COURAGE
Although challenging, David’s life is proof that waiting on the Lord is the most courageous thing we can do.
Jerusalem—The Eternal Capital of Israel
Perched on a rock formation called the Ophel at 150 to 200 feet above the valley floor, Israel’s new capital provided a strategic view of the surrounding valleys; it was highly defensible; and, it had critical access to fresh water.
David the King
It didn’t happen overnight. But, at the set time God fulfilled his promise to David and made him King of Israel.
