TOPIC: DAVID’S VICTORIOUS WARS
Opening Prayer
My dear heavenly Father, as I study your word, let it be a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.
Bible Text
2 Samuel 8:1-18
Meditation Question
►Q2: Is there any example for me to follow or not to follow?
►Q8: Is there any other Biblical passage that can help me understand this passage better?
This chapter is not a chronological report of David’s victorious wars. Military operations from all parts of David’s reign are included, not necessarily in any specific order of their occurrence. All of the old enemies of Israel, the Philistines, Amalekites, Syrians, Edomites, Moabites, and Ammonites were defeated and made to pay tributes to the king of Israel.
2 Samuel 8:6b however shows the secret of his success which is repeated in 2 Samuel 8:14b for emphasis. But notice the attributes of David that endeared him to God (1 Samuel 13:14; 2 Samuel 6:13-15; 1 Samuel 12:13-17; 1 Samuel 24:24). Little wonder God supported him all the way.
Are you similarly devoted to God? Whatever God says, He will do. God had promised to establish the house of David and here, we see Him at work through conquests of all the enemy nations. Thus, it is not the superior military might of David, nor the overwhelming size of his armies, nor the genius of his strategy that resulted in these amazing victories, but the finger of God.
All the gold, silver, bronze and other precious articles which David acquired from the nations conquered were dedicated to God (2 Samuel 8:11-12). What can we learn from this singular action of David? What is the significance of 2 Samuel 8:15?
Closing Prayer
Lord, help me never to depend on my victories, but to acknowledge you through it all.
Prayer of Faith
Offer a prayer of faith in line with 2 Timothy 1:7
Prayer for the Week
Pray for the physically challenged, that God in his mercy will heal and restore them. Pray that rather than sulking in pity party, they will see the ability in disability and discover themselves.
