God does not fail, has
not failed and will not fail. That is the testimony of the saints in the Bible
and it is one of the cardinal teachings in the Bible. Please see Numbers Chapter 23 verse 19. David was a man after God’s heart, was anointed as King of
Israel when he was still a teenager, experienced challenges that could have
made him doubt God, the word of God and promises of God concerning him; yet
David held on to God.
As a young man, God used
Him to defeat Goliath and because the women of Israel sang praises of David,
the then ruling King of Israel, Saul became envious of David and made several
attempts on the young life of David. Consequently, David became homeless and
had to live among the Philistines, ironically among the kinsmen of Goliath
whom he killed. Eventually, Saul was
killed in battle and after a battle with the surviving sons and relatives of
Saul, the Israelites came together and crowned David king of Israel. Please see
1st Chronicles Chapter 12.
