Mercy shall be built up forever; Your faithfulness You shall establish in the very heavens. . .the heavens will praise Your wonders, O LORD; Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the saints.
Many, O LORD my God, are Your wonderful works
which You have done; and Your thoughts toward us cannot be recounted to You in order; if I would declare and speak of them,
they are more than can be numbered.
Given the essential facts of David’s predicament, we can’t help but wonder why he didn’t succumb to despair.
Even the threat of death didn’t alter his conduct. David continued to behave wisely.
He certainly wasn’t perfect. Isolated moments of failure are in plain view on the pages of the Bible. Yet, God praises David for one characteristic that set him apart from his brothers and his predecessor.
God had rejected Saul. It was imperative that the right man lead the nation of Israel. What did David possess that his brothers did not?
