—2 Samuel 2:1-7
by: Matthew Berg.
During the final years of his exile from Saul, David had consolidated his strength and developed a loyal following among the people of Judah by sharing the plunder from his frequent raids of the desert people to the south. He was strategically located to move onto the public stage as king. But first he prayed, asking God when and where he should come out into the open as king. David received the guidance he prayed for. When facing a difficult decision, it is important to plan and prepare. But it is most important to seek God’s guidance and blessing.
