2/28/2011 David part1

David:I think God wants me to learn more about David because every time I open the Bible in the last few days it says something about David. Last weekend I went to a church retreat. It was amazing. The speaker was excellent and he really new his Bible, he was passionate about it too. I spoke about when David was chosen to be king and when he killed Goliath, when he "bought" his bride, when he built the temple of God, about David and Bathsheba, and about his relationships with his sons and the people around him. It was stupendous.

David was not a pansy. In Tanzania, the boys, at six years old, must be able to kill a lion, and if not they can never ever live as a man. The animal populations were even greater back in David's day so he probably saw and killed multiple wild beasts. When he ran to the battle sight, it was 15 miles, with thirty pounds strapped to his back. I cant run a mile without huffing and puffing. He was muscular. He was handsome, even Goliath said so...He played the harp-the equivalent of the electric guitar in our society. He is successful in battles-like the football of today....(but more intense.) So today he would be an athletic, sensitive, christian, guitar playing, quarterback, who also can sing. THINK: All of the girls were probably all over him, I know today they would be... Oh, and did I mention he was the KING over all of Israel... yeah... He just made The Rock look wimpy...
