Summary

David’s story occurs at a time when Israel has begun to demand a King. Up until this point, you see, God had been their King, but Israel now wants a King like the other nations--a king who will give them a sense of national pride, a king who (they believe) will guarantee them prosperity and security. And that’s where David’s story connects to yours. Because, you see, we’re also searching for those 3 things: Identity, Security, Happiness.
