2 Samuel 5:
David Anointed King over Israel
(1 Chronicles 11:1-3)
1Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and said, “Here we are, your own flesh and blood. 2Even in times past, while Saul was king over us, you were the one who led Israel out and brought them back. And to you the LORD said, ‘You will shepherd My people Israel, and you will be ruler over them.’”
3So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, where King David made with them a covenant before the LORD. And they anointed him king over Israel.
4David was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned forty years. 5In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.
Gods timing is not our timing. David was anointed as a young boy to be the future king of Israel. But God waited until he was 30 years old to fulfill that promise.
David went through hardships, wars and persecution from king Saul before he became king.
But David was faithful to God and his king.
God blessed him for his faithfulness.
Are you going through hardships, war and persecution? Be faithful like David and in time, in Gods time you will be blessed for your faithfulness.
God has a plan for your life, inquire about it and allow God to lead you just as David allowed God to lead him.
Be faithful!
Blessings, David
