David the king

¹⁷ When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over Israel, they went up in full force to search for him, but David heard about it and went down to the stronghold. ¹⁸ Now the Philistines had come and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim; ¹⁹ so David inquired of the Lord, “Shall I go and attack the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hands?”
The Lord answered him, “Go, for I will surely deliver the Philistines into your hands.”
²⁰ So David went to Baal Perazim, and there he defeated them. He said, “As waters break out, the Lord has broken out against my enemies before me.” So that place was called Baal Perazim.^{[c] 21} The Philistines abandoned their idols there, and David and his men carried them off.
²² Once more the Philistines came up and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim; ²³ so David inquired of the Lord, and he answered, “Do not go straight up, but circle around behind them and attack them in front of the poplar trees. ²⁴ As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the poplar trees, move quickly, because that will mean the Lord has gone out in front of you to strike the Philistine army.” ²⁵ So David did as the Lord commanded him, and he struck down the Philistines all the way from Gibeon^[d] to Gezer.

I have been reflecting. How much do i understand His love and providence? No, how much do i experience His love and providence? How much do I trust Him? How much do i believe in Him? Through out the recent camps and all, i have been reflecting. Reflecting on God, reflecting on His relationship with me. How good it has been and what are the areas for improvement. I felt like it was God that was correcting me all these while, he showed me my heart and how much do i accept Him, love Him and believe in Him. Apparently, i have much more work to do. God calls this journey a walk, a relationship with God. The basis of this relationship is His love. Without His love, and our love towards Him, what relationship is there? So, i have been with God discussing and understanding and living out this relationship. What relationship is there if we don't understand Him? In Christianity, we must understand that to begin is not to end. To end is to end in God. This really means that whatever we do, learn from Christ cannot end. We cannot fully grasp the concept, we are always susceptible to sin until we die. Until we are raised to heaven. That is when everything would change. Then we would be one with God and love God and hate sin. Then it is the end. I salute David in the fact that he walked with God so closely that God became His best friend. And because of that he did many miracles. I have a long way to go.
