The unfolding drama of 2 Samuel can suck us in ... David is God's choice to replace King Saul. The Holy Spirit has come upon David, empowering him to deliver Israel from their enemies. At the end of Saul's reign, Israel suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of the Philistines. You'd think, then, that the nation would flock to support God's anointed deliverer, right? Wrong. He is initially rejected by the majority. The Scriptures don't afford us the luxury of being spectators who stare at these events. God Anointed (Messiah) has come to deliver us from our enemies of sin, death, hell and Satan. He has single-handedly defeated them through his life, death, and resurrection. Have you believed in Him?
