2Sa 3:1 | KingComments | STEP | This verse still belongs to the previous chapter. It is not just a communication on military force ratios. The verse also says that David must patiently learn how God will lead his cause. He has to wait for God’s time, and he does. In the long war between the house of Saul and the house of David, the first house is getting weaker and weaker and the second stronger and stronger. This is how it goes in the life of the believer. In the war between the house of Saul and the house of David, we can see the spiritual growth of someone who has come to know the Lord Jesus. As he begins to live more with Him, he will increase in spiritual strength and the flesh will have less chance to assert itself. If we give the Spirit authority in our lives, the flesh will not have a chance to manifest itself.
