The final thing that I see in the Bible, about David, was this. When he did succeed, the first thing he wanted to do was to restore the presence of God, to be the center of the nation. The first thing he wanted to do, when he got to the place where God had put him king over - not only Judah, but eventually over all of Israel… this is what he did. He wanted to restore the presence of God to the center of the nation. He gave God the full honor and glory for getting him there. What an amazing man this man David is!
Jesus was called the “Son of David”, because He had the same kind of characteristics and qualities. What kind of heart do you have? Do you have a heart that delights in the Lord? Do you have a heart that's faithful in the small things? Do you have a heart that can trust God to get you where He wants to get you? Do you have a heart that blesses and thanks the people around you, who helped you get where you are? Do you honor those who do well? Do you have room in your heart to include those who have gifts that could help you?
When you do get to the place of victory, when you've got that promotion, that job, that business, whatever it is - God is still first in your life! He didn't even act like a king, when he got there. He just acted like someone still passionately in love with the Lord, because being king was never his goal. To honor God, and serve his generation was.
To serve your generation, study these aspects of David, and take on the same traits. God wants to get you somewhere. God wants to raise you up into leadership, because He has people for you to touch. How can it happen? You've got to make the choice!
