Lastly, we spoke about David’s list of qualifications from men’s point of view to be king of Israel and a man after God’s own heart.
This week let’s examine what he did after his anointing as king.
He went back to his sheep.
That’s right! He went back to doing what he was doing before because there was no other direction from God.
Why didn’t he go out and change his wardrobe, buy a Ferrari camel, and begin to brag to everyone who God had made him to be?
While there could be many factors the one I like most
is that God was only making him aware, not releasing him to go.
We get confused sometimes as well with the calling and the actual appointment. God had a specific time in mind when David would be installed as king even though, in God’s mind, he already was.
Jesus has saved you and set you free. You have been anointed to do great things. So continue on while God gets everything ready for you to be installed and, like David, try not to take matters into your own hands.
