The 8 Minute Devotion

The prophet Nathan fearlessly confronted David for his sin with Bathsheba and Uriah. Join Pastor Cameron as we look at Nathan's courage. 

On today's episode, Pastor Cameron looks at David's heinous attempt to cover-up his sin with Bathsheba, by arranging the murder of righteous, honorable Uriah. We must always attack sin at its earliest stages, because giving ourselves to one sin will always lead to more if we do not repent!

Join Pastor Cameron as we look at the next part of David's life - "When You Get Knocked Down, Get Back Up." On today's episode, we look at the reasons behind David's tragic sins of adultery and murder. 

Join Pastor Cameron as he looks at the first thing David did after becoming king - confront the Jebusites and take control of Mt. Zion. David had a vision for complete victory and possession of all of God's promises, and we must have a vision to live an overcoming life if we are to obtain heavenly Mt. Zion. 

After seven years of battling the forces of Saul's son Ishbosheth, David's troops were finally victorious and David became king of all Israel. His long journey to ruling all of Israel was finally complete, almost 20 years after God initially gave Him the promise! If we keep our eyes on the Lord and stay true to Him, He will always fulfill His promises to us, as Pastor Cameron discusses on today's show. 

On today's podcast, Pastor Cameron contrasts the house of David with the house of Saul. As the two houses jostled for control of Israel, David gradually became stronger while Saul's line gradually became weaker, just as those who follow the Spirit will always prevail in the end over those who follow the flesh. 

After years of being on the run, and only days after losing everything at Ziklag, David became the king of the tribe of Judah! The promises God gave him years before were starting to be fulfilled, as Pastor Cameron shows us on today's episode. 

Join Pastor Cameron for today's episode, as we look at David's reaction to the death of King Saul. David did not rejoice at the demise of his tormentor, but mourned over the death of God's anointed - David's heart of reconciliation is an example for each of us! 

After about 10 years of running, it was finally time for David to be king - but he still faced one more tremendous test. At Ziklag David and his men lost everything, before David encouraged himself in the Lord and wound up recovering all and spoiling the enemy. His greatest moment was right around the corner from his greatest defeat, as Pastor Cameron shows us today! 

Even while running from Saul, in his most precarious moments, David wrote and sang of the Lord as His refuge. He did not wait until after His deliverance came, but found refuge in God during his worst times, as Pastor Cameron shows us on today's episode.
