God Establishes Leaders

2 Sam. 5, 6

The Lord gave David favor and skill. He had proven his ability to obtain victory on the battlefield, and displayed wisdom beyond his years in leadership situations. Judah claimed him as their king, and eventually all Israel recognized his royalty. It was confirmed by the elders of Israel, and was not the result of David’s ambition or cunning. All could see God’s Hand upon him. They saw what God had revealed to Samuel when he anointed David as a young shepherd boy.

To young people who sense God’s call upon their lives … don’t rush it. God will confirm you through the endorsement of elders and eventually all will see what God put in you and the ministry He has for you. You don’t have make anything happen yourself. Just be obedient to what He tells you.

Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. [Ps. 65:4 KJV]
