BOMM Devotional - Week of January 2

Then all Israel gathered to David at Hebron and said, “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh. 2 In times past, even when Saul was king, you were the one who led out and brought in Israel; and the Lord your God said to you, ‘You shall shepherd My people Israel, and you shall be leader over My people Israel.’” 3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the Lord; and they anointed David king over Israel, in accordance with the word of the Lord through Samuel.

1 Chronicles 11:1-3

David’s army is now victorious from a long, civil war against forces still loyal to Saul. The Northern Tribes have now united with the Southern Tribes to be counted as “all Israel” under one King, David, who was anointed by God.

Likewise, Christians today are united by One King, anointed by God; Jesus Christ. We are united regardless of geography, race, wealth, gender, or social status, while holding the truths of scripture alone to be without equal, and supreme to any other source this side of glory.
