God’s Affliction

Abandonment judgement of God
Nebuchadnezzar- progression from unbelief —> acknowledgement—> personal belief.
Heb. 12:5-11
Hebrews 12:5–11 ESV
5 And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons? “My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor be weary when reproved by him. 6 For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives.” 7 It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? 8 If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. 9 Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live? 10 For they disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness. 11 For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

God’s Provision

1. Servants who could see what needed to be done. (v 15)
2. A man who could play
servant already had David in mind
3. The grace of music
“For heights and depths no words can reach, music is the soul’s own speech.”
Anthems of love, fidelity, security, dependence
What happens when we sing:
physical senses connect to eternal souls
Not all songs are created equal
Which songs bring you comfort in dark times?

David’s Learning Process

“Everything is training for whatever comes next”
David is being welcomed into Saul’s house (v 21)
Established rapport with the king
Established undying, loyal friendship with prince Jonathan (David’s means of survival)
