What do you do after you have been anointed for a purpose or task? What do you do once you realized the calling that has been placed on your life? That is what we will learn from David’s life in this episode of “A King in the Making”. 

David is one of the most iconic figures in all of scripture.  A young shepherd who becomes the greatest king Israel would ever know. A man of confidence…in himself yes…but even more in the God in whom he placed his trust. David exudes confidence because he knows God is with him. He is not seeking glory or fame…he does not desire to be king…yet it finds him nonetheless. What is it about this man that God would choose Him to be king, and despite his many mistakes, God refers to him as a man after God’s own heart. Let’s jump in and look at some lessons from a king in the making.

I love Sukkot because it speaks of hope, and celebrates a time we should all look forward to. A time of peace and joy as Jesus dwells among His people once more and rules over all the earth in person. What a great day that will be. In fact, in ancient Israel, Sukkot was such a joyful feast that everyone looked forward to…so they simply referred to it as “The Feast”.  It symbolized a renewed relationship with God…that the sins of the people were atoned for and their relationship was renewed with their Creator. Sukkot reminds us of the importance of just being in God’s presence and rejoicing over who He is and what He has done and will do for you!
