Ep. 158: Remain Faithful Til the God-Ordained Dream is Fully Realized

SHOW NOTES:

In Podcast Episode 158, “Remain Faithful Til the God-Ordained Dream Is Fully Realized,” Kim discusses the God-ordained dreams we each should be pursuing with faithful obedience. Most dreams are not fulfilled overnight, and you will have to persevere through doubts and hardships. Yet, God fulfills every promise. Keep believing, keep obeying, and keep praying.

The primary scripture texts for this episode are 2 Samuel 2:1-4a, 8-11 with 11 as the focal verse.

1 After this, David asked the Lord, “Should I move back to one of the towns of Judah?”

“Yes,” the Lord replied.

Then David asked, “Which town should I go to?”

“To Hebron,” the Lord answered.

2 David’s two wives were Ahinoam from Jezreel and Abigail, the widow of Nabal from Carmel. So David and his wives 3 and his men and their families all moved to Judah, and they settled in the villages near Hebron. 4 Then the men of Judah came to David and anointed him king over the people of Judah.

8 But Abner son of Ner, the commander of Saul’s army, had already gone to Mahanaim with Saul’s son Ishbosheth. 9 There he proclaimed Ishbosheth king over Gilead, Jezreel, Ephraim, Benjamin, the land of the Ashurites, and all the rest of Israel.

10 Ishbosheth, Saul’s son, was forty years old when he became king, and he ruled from Mahanaim for two years. Meanwhile, the people of Judah remained loyal to David. 11 David made Hebron his capital, and he ruled as king of Judah for seven and a half years.

ADDITIONAL VERSES:

12 So Jesse sent for him. He was dark and handsome, with beautiful eyes.

And the Lord said, “This is the one; anoint him.”

13 So as David stood there among his brothers, Samuel took the flask of olive oil he had brought and anointed David with the oil. And the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon David from that day on. Then Samuel returned to Ramah. (1 Samuel 16:12-13)
