## Resource

We often remember David as the giant-slayer or the man after God’s own heart, but the final chapter of his story tells a quieter, more challenging truth. In this episode of Divine Encounters — Appointed Time, Obedient Heart , we walk through the closing scene of 2 Samuel, where David chooses certainty over trust, counts what God never asked him to measure, and learns the cost of obedience delayed. This episode invites us to reflect on where we rely on outcomes instead of faith, how accountability can feel uncomfortable but necessary, and what it looks like to return — kneeling — to the altar. A story of leadership, humility, and surrender that still speaks powerfully today.
