The kingdom under David was becoming more established as Hiram, King of Tyre sent the workers and materials necessary to build him a palace. Ultimately, David would be the king that Saul could and would not - one for the "benefit of the people" Israel. I guess success meant more wives to which to populate to which he did (3-5). With success comes enemies and war, David's kingdom would be no different as the Phillistines would gather full force to raid him. David, true to God, inquires of God of what to do and God answered him by telling him to "go, I will hand them over to you". God gave David the victory at Baal Perazim and there he defeated them and destroyed their idols. Once again they wanted to challenge David and there God gave him a different plan of attack (by circling behind them) and the victory. David's fame and his kingdom began to take hold.
All in all, a decent day at work. Started to take Claritin to ease my sinus hassles. No golf yesterday due to the weather and will be rescheduled for a later date. Glad to see my teams winning. Hopefully, today is a calm one. Prayers for the family and friends for God's protection and grace.
Praise for today: In God, whose word I praise, in the Lord,whose word I praise - In God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? Ps 56: 10-11
