Key verse about David:

  • Psalm 62:1-2: My soul waits in silence for God only; From Him is my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation, My stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.

David's Problems

  • David, already with many wives and competing sons, deepens the trouble when he has Uriah the Hittite killed, and takes his wife Bathsheba. The remarkably wicked act of murder rooted in lust and fear. Trouble begins with the fact that David had eight wives

Moral lesson of David's life:

  • The Lord calls whom He will call.
  • Trust God

God calls who He deems to be worthy not who man deems to be worthy. Despite the fact David was the youngest and only tended sheep. The Lord said to Samuel, “the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.” (1 Samuel 16:7) The first lessons to learn from David is that the Lord can make who he wants into his instrument. It is up to us to be willing to accept that call and act.

David fits into the overall picture of God's story in scripture because Jesus was born from the line of David and God used him to create a successful kingdom with David as its King. He brought unity and governance to 12 contentious tribes. And his son Soloman inherited the kingdom and was also a great ruler

Lessons

  • One lesson is that allowing the family to decay and drift from God’s intended structure and form brings great harm God loves sinners, God uses sinners and flawed men and women. God can write straight with crooked lines, and make a way out of no way. We should never doubt God’s love for us, no matter how deep our flaws or serious our sins are.
