After Saul’s death, David assumed reign over Judah and ultimately all Israel. He refused to take it by force, but wanted all to want him as king, so he waited seven and a half years for it. The promises of God are sometimes time sensitive. We also must wait upon the Lord... for direction ... for peace ... for an open door.

David’s final words are prophetic. A good leader surrounds himself with good people. He erred, however, by taking a census instead of trusting in the Lord. Truly, the secret to success is the Spirit of God and valiant men and women! How do we deal with temptation? Scripture; Flee; Not Alone! Don’t ignore good counsel.
