The Triumph and Tenderness of David | 2 Samuel 8-9 | Brent Smith

As we go through the next couple of chapters tonight, we see God’s increasing blessing upon David. And it’s a reminder that every good and perfect gift is from above and comes down from the Father of Lights (James 1:17). Two times in chapter 8 we read that the Lord preserved David wherever he went (vv. 6, 14). You see this blessing that David is experiencing is not because David is so special or successful in and of himself, it’s because God is a blessing God. David is not the hero of the story here tonight, God is. And God often blesses His people so they can be a further blessing to others. We’ll see that clearly here tonight as well.
