David had such a tremendous life. From a very tender age he began to experience victories that were far beyond human explanation.
In the life of David we see God's signature all the way. This was the only explanation for him killing Goliath and his escape from the arrows of death on several occasions. One major factor that stood out from the life of David was that he was guided by God.
From his own testimony in Psalm 48:14 he said "For this God is our God forever and ever, he will be our GUIDE unto death."
Again David declared in Psalm 23:1-2 "The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want. He leads me beside the still waters..."
When God is not leading we'll find ourselves in too many trouble waters of life. Most of life’s defeats are traceable to wrong steps taken.
The secrets of men are in their story. The story of David compared his relationship with God with that of a shepherd and the sheep.
Hear this....
1. No matter how intelligent the sheep is, it will always require the guide of a shepherd. David himself began his life as a shepherd. He understood clearly how important the shepherd was to a sheep.
2. The protection of the sheep is only found in the guidance of the shepherd. When this is absent the sheep is exposed and vulnerable. David himself described how he was taking care of his father’s sheep and the Lion and the bear came.
3. No matter what the sheep knows; what the shepherd knows will always be better.
It’s important we give God all the room he needs to guide us all through our lives.
Psalm 48:14
"For this God is our God for ever and ever. He will be our guide even unto death”
