WRITING "LETTER FROM GOD" 13
It was special to note how the young child Samuel was raised by the
high priest Eli in the Tabernacle. Loving the Lord, Samuel went on
to serve the Lord as His prophet, priest and judge.
Although it was not God’s timing for a king in Israel, God allowed
the people to have King Saul. Saul did hold off Israel’s enemies,
but he did not serve nor obey the Lord. He went his own way in his
own strength. At the end of his life, we watched in horror as Saul
consulted a witch or medium for guidance.
God did want Israel to have a king and was preparing and training
His own man — a man after His divine thinking. To see the amazing
way the Lord revealed himself to David and to see how David loved
and trusted the Lord was awesome. David never lost sight of the fact
that his Lord King was over him.
David developed courage and confidence in the Lord while caring for
the sheep. It was in the hills around Bethlehem where David as a
shepherd received his revelation messages. With his bare hands he
killed a lion and bear who were stealing a lamb. Then came the big
test. It was amazing to see this young shepherd face the huge
Philistine giant, Goliath, with only his sling shot and the words,
“The battle is the Lord’s.”
David became a great warrior and leader. He and his warriors had
many victories. David’s courage and confidence in the Lord
overflowed to others. We watched in awe how God protected and
provided for David when Saul was trying to kill him.
It was interesting to see that when the strong winner believer David
was out of God’s plan, he made wrong decisions. We realize how
important it is for us today to stay in the plan of God and wait for
God’s timing.
Today, as a nation, we need to get back to the truths of
Christianity on which our founding fathers placed their hope for
America. Only then will our country be blessed and prosper, and be
protected from our enemies.
David was aware of the promise that in the future his Lord would
reign as King over the earth. The Lord King will be from David’s own
line and rule from his Zion hill, Psalm 2:6.
It was fascinating to watch God’s plan unfolding and see how a
remnant of winner believers representing Him carried on and served
Him. God chose David his servant and took him from the sheep pens.
From tending the sheep, God brought David to be the shepherd of His
people, the Israelites, Psalm 78:70-72.
