In this second-to-last episode in our series on the life of David, we will look at a few of King David's key reactions. In particular, we look at David trusting in God when under severe criticism by a man named Shimei. In this instance, we see David trust the Lord's sovereignty and maintain perspective during Shimei's hateful tirade. We see how we, too, can be encouraged to do the same.

We also read about David mourning Absalom, and how his vocal grieving was demoralizing the nation that helped him gain victory over his son's coup attempt. In this, we learn how not to fall into similar traps in our own lives!

In both cases, David proves himself to be a man who trusts the Lord, no matter what the circumstances, and who is willing to receive rebuke and correction from those around him.

So much truth, so much application!!!! Join us starting in 2 Samuel 16!
