Day 110.
David becomes king over Israel, and under his command, Israel unites! David's path to becoming was definitely a long and hard one. God made a promise with David when he was young and still a boy, and the promise was only fulfilled after many many years. Even then the path that David had to take in order to get to where God had promised him was a very tough path where he had to go through many difficulties and circumstances, many times with him on the run for his life and not knowing whats gonna happen next. But David trusted in God and made sure that he was righteous in all that he did, and because he endured and held on to God's promise, he made it to become the king of all Israel.
God has great plans for our lives, and whenever we hear of God's great calling over our life we always get exicited and happy.. It's definitely a good thing to know God's call over one's life, and know that each one of us is destined for greatness.. but people always tend to overlook and conveniently forget that in order to get to where God wants them to be, they have to work towards it. We know our goal and finishing line, but do we know about the path we're meant to take in order to get there? Are we willing to pay the price that needs to be paid? David was called to be the king of Israel from a very young age, and after that for the next 20-30 years his life was a mess of ups and downs. The path that David took was a very demanding path, but David accepted it and stood focused on the goal. If we were to go through the same amount of hardships, and endure the same duration that David had to wait in order to see our calling come to fulfilment, will we be like David? David gave up everything he had, his family, friends, wife, comfort, and lots more things that he could have gotten by just staying at his father's house. But David decided to rise up to the calling that God had for him, and allowed himself to be tested and trained by God. Will we let God take away everything we have for his purpose? Do we know about the path we're meant to be taking?
