2 Samuel 5:1-5, 9-10 and Psalm 48
King David was God’s choice and he increased his power over Israel.
David had more approval from God than Saul, but it is interesting that David was still not perfect. He had his faults.
Every US president has faults as well as blessings. They are all human -- like us -- and can make mistakes. They may put more faith in the military than in God, so they put most of our money in the army. God is telling us to put our faith in God.
