† The Day Is Coming † And the LORD said to you, You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be prince over Israel. So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them at Hebron before the LORD, and they anointed David king over Israel. 2 Samuel 5:2–3 ESV David was just a young boy when God had Samuel anoint him as king over Israel. David was probably between ten to fifteen when this happened. It does not give an exact age, but he was so young he was not even considered to be a contender. At thirty, David actually became king. There was a gap of fifteen to twenty years between the promise and the fulfillment. God used this time to refine David, establish him in the eyes of the people, and thoroughly test his character. The day is coming when what the Lord has promised you will be fulfilled. That thing that has always been in the back of your mind, that you have almost given up on, will yet come to pass. That day is coming. Jesus loves you so much that He traded His life for yours! :)
