Lessons From the Life of David - (3)
God testified concerning David: 'I have found David... a man after My own heart, who will do everything I want him to do.'- [Acts 13:22]v23.From the David's descendants God has brought to Israel the Saviour Jesus as he promised. Before that John preached about repentance and baptism.....
When God says that about someone you'd be wise to observe that person's life David started out as a shepherd and ended up as King. Shepherds were so low on the social spectrum, they couldn't testify in a court of law because their word wasn't considered reliable. Yet David ended up writing the most widely read psalms of all time. God rewrites all our past and show us the future !
There are two important lessons here :-
(1) Don't rush to judgement -
It's not over until God says it's over ! A verification of God's justice is that won't allow us to escape the consequences; and testimony to His love is that will never let us go. There is a warning to every transgressor...?
(2) God can bring good out of what seems like a bad situation -
He can take every experience we've been through and make it good for us - either your own good or the good of others. Bottom line is He can make 'all things work together for common good'.
The Parable of the Talents - [Matthew 25:14-30]
Jesus tells the parable of the loaned money to teach about a diligent servant remaining watchful about the 'Return of the Master' for the final judgment.
"Then pay attention to how you listen; for those who have, more will be given; and from those who do not have, even what they seem to have will be taken away" - v.29
God rewards faithfulness. Those who bear no fruit for God's kingdom cannot expect to be treated the same way as those who served diligently.
May God give us wisdom to discern the right from the wrongs in our life, Amen

GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY To Find 'Lost Sheep' - [Luke 15: 3 - 7]
LESSONS FROM THE LIFE OF DAVID - (2)
Jesus Tells the Parable of the Lost Sheep - [Luke 15: 3-7]
'Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one, does not leave the ninety-nine in wilderness and go after the lost sheep until he finds it ?
The Joyful Return of the Exiles - [Jeremiah 31:10]
'Hear the word of the Lord, O nations, and declare it in the coastlands far away; say, "He who scattered Israel will gather him, and will keep him as a shepherd a flock." - Also, in Psalm of David [23] David wrote out of his own experience because he had spent his early years caring for sheep.
Sheep are completely dependent on the shepherd for provision, guidance, and protection. The psalm does not focus on the animal-like qualities of sheep but on the discipleship qualities of those who follow. So, we are not frightened, passive animals, but obedient followers; wise enough to understand when a foreign yoke is put on locally, that means both are slavery ! The truth should set us free from bondage of any kind.....
As the Lord is the 'Good Shepherd' so we are the sheep - When you recognize the good shepherd, follow him ! The environment we create for ourselves and rebelling against a shepherd, instead of leading us to"green pastures" and "quiet waters", but through the streets rather than glorifying the LORD.
May the 'Good Shepherd' guide and protect us on the day of judgement, Amen
