SERVICE
AT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

Yesterday morning Rev. Nonckx,
pastor of the Presbyterian church,
preached on Divine Faithfulness,
and said that God always attends
man, cooperating with him in every
way possible. He took the life of
David and showed how God worked
in his behalf.
God knows the possibilities OF
each life he said, and therefore he
knew that David had the making Of
king in him. Samuel, the prophet,
who was sent Of God to anoint one
of Jesses sons to be king over Israel,
Judging as man is inclined to judge
thought that Eliab. Jesse's oldest son,
must be the Divine choice because OF
his kingly bearing, but God saw IN
David the kingly qualities that were
more important than physique, and
therefore commanded his prophet to
anoint the little shepherd lad David
God led David from the pasture
to the throne by the most natural
way possible; this is always Gods
method. The natural ways are God s
WAYS, but men Of limited vision often
times deny that God has anything 10
do with events because they are sc
natural.
God taught David the things he
had to learn thru the experiences
that came to him. We are all in
Gods school OF experience and fol
the purpose OF learning the lessons
that God would teach us. David pro
fitted by the lessons he received
while tending the sheep. while he was
with King Saul as soldier, while hi
was in the Kings court and thru /
all he received his education for tn
position Of king of Israel; thus co.
cooperated with David all thru hi
/ life. and as he co-operated wit
/ navid so he cO-operates with us if We
like David. give him the chance
