1. Live a victorious life

V. closing
We see in this story that we are very much like David. When we receive Jesus and his instructions for our life; we are to leave the old life immediately and do what our heavenly father has commanded us to do. When we go farther with God(our heavenly father) we need to learn to give our daily concerns and cares over to God. This means we need to trust Him as a child trusts his parents. The thing that we need to be concerned with is fighting the good fight of faith and running into the battle as our father has commanded us to do. We see from point four the effects of doing what God has commanded us is us having a victorious life.
