David Confirmed King of Israel Part 1 of 2 by Banking Blessings Ministry

Human interactions from David illustrate there is a time to drive events (i.e., make things happen) and a time to wait and respond to events driven by others as they happen.
God often drives events through people. At times, he may want a person to initiate an event and provide leadership; whereas at other times he wants the person to wait and respond to events initiated by others. David provides examples based on interactions during a period of approximately seven years from the death of Saul through confirmation of David as king of Israel. He drove events regarding his and followers’ relocation to Hebron. Thereafter, he mostly waited patiently to respond to events initiated by others. In every case, his response demonstrated leadership based on unwavering commitment to what is right and just.
