The Life of David

The life of David marked an important epoch in the unfolding of God's purpose and plan of redemption. At sundry times and in divers manners, God spoke in times past, and in various ways and by different means, the way was prepared for the coming of Christ. The work of redemption, with respect to its chief design, is carried on from the fall of man to the end of the world by successive acts and dispensations in different ages, but all forming part of one great whole, and all leading to the one appointed and glorious climax.

Here a little and there a little, God made known the grand goal toward which all His dealings tended. The life of David, as depicted in the contents, provides a rich tapestry of the man's journey, from his humble beginnings as a youth to his eventual coronation and reign as king. The narrative weaves together the various experiences, triumphs, and trials that David encountered, all of which played a crucial role in shaping him and advancing God's redemptive plan.

The contents cover a wide range of topics, including David's anointing, his encounters with Saul, his slaying of Goliath, his wanderings, his interactions with Abigail, his chastening, his dealings with Absalom, and his eventual restoration. Each episode serves as a testament to the divine hand at work, guiding and molding David's life in accordance with the greater purposes of God.

The author, Arthur W. Pink, was a renowned theologian and preacher who lived from 1886 to 1952. Born in Nottingham, England, he experienced a profound spiritual awakening at the age of 22 and went on to serve as a pastor in various churches across the United States and Australia before settling in Lewis, Scotland, for the last 12 years of his life.

Throughout the contents, the reader is invited to witness the unfolding of God's redemptive plan through the life of David, a man who, despite his flaws and shortcomings, was chosen by God to play a pivotal role in the grand narrative of salvation. The narrative not only provides a rich historical account but also serves as a profound exploration of the nature of human experience, the power of divine grace, and the transformative potential of a life lived in submission to the will of God.
