2 Samuel 21

This morning I read in 2 Samuel 21. It was interesting to me that there was a famine in the land of Israel for three years. Some how David was able to realize that there was a connection to a problem with a people group. David sought the Lord on the problem and the Lord told him it was because of Saul, that he was a bloodthirsty man. So David immediately took care of the problem. Also I read about how David and his men took care of all the Philistine giants. Pretty neat to read about a battle where the big guys lose! David seems to be a humble man though. The men in his army told him that he was not going to go with them to battle because he was growing faint. I think he might have been getting older and they wanted to protect their king. I believe that it took a lot of humility to not argue, question, or complain about this command. I mean he was the king of Israel. Humble king. This is the way I need to live my life. Humility is not easy. When you think you are humble it is at that point that you are no longer humble. My prayer is that God would help me to see more ways that I need to be humble.
