I reread the story of David being crowned king by Israel in 2 Samuel 5. It was not until after some military defeats and then the building of his house that it is said, "David then percieved that the Lord had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for the sake of his people Israel." What was it about the building of this house that brought forth this realization for David?
I think it is like moving to Braselton and building a house only to discover that the job is in Macon. It was only after gaining the position of leadership through victory that David was ready to settle in and rule as king. How many times do we get the cart before the horse? We make all these plans without proving that we can do the job or perform the task. Let's not get to comfortable before we know we are the right match for the position.
