The Suffering Servant | Isaiah 53:5–6

“But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed. All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet the Lord laid on him the sins of us all.” (Isaiah 53:5–6 NLT) Isaiah was a prophet who ministered in Judah during the sixth century BC. In chapter 53 of the book that bears his name, he records a prophecy about a Suffering Servant—an innocent person who would take the punish...

Words to Live By | 1 Chronicles 28:9

“And Solomon, my son, learn to know the God of your ancestors intimately. Worship and serve him with your whole heart and a willing mind. For the Lord sees every heart and knows every plan and thought. If you seek him, you will find him. But if you forsake him, he will reject you forever.” (1 Chronicles 28:9 NLT) God promised David that his kingdom would last forever. That was a reference to Jesus, who, centuries later, not only descended from David but also was closely identified with him. Peop...

When God Says No | 1 Chronicles 28:3

“But God said to me, ‘You must not build a Temple to honor my name, for you are a warrior and have shed much blood.’” (1 Chronicles 28:3 NLT) What is your purpose in life? I think for some people it’s just long life. That’s not a bad thing to aspire to, but long life is not the objective. Fulfilling God’s purpose for your life is the objective. Life isn’t measured by duration but by donation. What have you donated? What have you done with your life? There must come a moment when we pass from mon...

Have Mercy | 2 Samuel 9:8

“Mephibosheth bowed respectfully and exclaimed, ‘Who is your servant, that you should show such kindness to a dead dog like me?’” (2 Samuel 9:8 NLT) It would be an understatement to say David had a complicated relationship with King Saul and his family. David was the anointed successor to Saul. As far as Saul was concerned, that made David his enemy. In fact, he tried to kill David several times. Yet David married Saul’s daughter Michal. And Saul’s son Jonathan was David’s best friend. Jonathan ...

After the Fall | 2 Samuel 12:13

“Then David confessed to Nathan, ‘I have sinned against the Lord.’ Nathan replied, ‘Yes, but the Lord has forgiven you, and you won’t die for this sin.’” (2 Samuel 12:13 NLT) You could argue that, aside from Adam and Eve’s eating of the forbidden fruit, no sin has gotten as much press as David’s adulterous affair with Bathsheba. It seems like everyone has heard the story. In 1 Corinthians 10:12, the apostle Paul writes, “If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall” (NLT). So if ...

Know Where to Take Your Fears | Psalm 27:1

“The Lord is my light and my salvation—so why should I be afraid? The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I tremble?” (Psalm 27:1 NLT) David was a shepherd, a musician, and a poet. When you think of the qualifications necessary for those occupations, courage probably isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. Yet David showed remarkable courage. He killed a lion and a bear protecting his flock. He walked onto a battlefield to face the giant, heavily armored Philistine wa...

Faithful to God’s Will | 1 Samuel 24:6–7

“He said to his men, ‘The Lord forbid that I should do this to my lord the king. I shouldn’t attack the Lord’s anointed one, for the Lord himself has chosen him.’ So David restrained his men and did not let them kill Saul.” (1 Samuel 24:6–7 NLT) After he was anointed king of Israel, David’s life reads like an adventure story. He didn’t assume the throne immediately. In fact, few people knew of his anointing at first. Saul, the acting king, struggled with mental illness. His servants suggested se...

The Unlikely Candidate | 1 Samuel 16:7

“But the Lord said to Samuel, ‘Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The Lord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.’” (1 Samuel 16:7 NLT) David was a complex person. He was a warrior and a worshipper. He was a lover and a fighter. He was an unknown shepherd living in obscurity in the tiny little village of Bethlehem, who was handpicked by God not just to be the greatest king in the history of Isra...

God’s Promise to David | 2 Samuel 7:16

“Your house and your kingdom will continue before me for all time, and your throne will be secure forever.” (2 Samuel 7:16 NLT) This verse from 2 Samuel 7 is part of a promise God delivered to King David through the prophet Nathan. David was troubled by the fact that, as king, he lived in a beautiful cedar palace while the ark of the covenant, where God’s Spirit dwelled among His people, was kept in a tent. David’s ambition was to build a beautiful temple for the Lord. But God (through Nathan) s...

Lifted Up | Numbers 21:9

“So Moses made a snake out of bronze and attached it to a pole. Then anyone who was bitten by a snake could look at the bronze snake and be healed!” (Numbers 21:9 NLT) Moses led the people of Israel out of slavery in Egypt and into the Promised Land. But the journey was anything but pleasant. The Israelites complained repeatedly about the traveling conditions. They accused Moses of leading them into the wilderness to die. God parted the waters of the Red Sea so that they could walk through the m...
