e100 Challenge Day 35 - King David - II Samuel 5:1-7:29

Finally David is recognized as King over Israel in today's passage.  "David became more powerful because the Lord was with Him" (5:10).  Different than Saul before Him, he inquired of the Lord before going to battle (5:19). He valued the presence of God by going to get the Ark (6:2) and demonstrated a heart of worship when it was brought back to Jerusalem (6:12ff.).  God made a covenant with David (7:4-17) and David recognized God's work in establishing the people of Israel (7:18-29).  We see David as God's King for his people Israel.

Discussion Questions...

1. Knowing what you know about David, what made Him such a good king? How was his perspective different than Saul.

2.What lessons can you learn from King David?  How did he see God that would make a difference in our life?

How Should we Pray?

Lord, thank you for being a covenant making and keeping God.  Like David, may we be people of worship with the perspective that you are great and meet our greatest needs.
