“You will shepherd my people Israel, and you will become their ruler” (v2). Long years had passed since the prophet Samuel had anointed young David as king. He had been attacked by Saul and had become a fugitive, and he had lost friends. Now, with King Saul dead and David’s tribe of Judah growing stronger, “all Israel” came and surrendered to him, proclaiming him king. Just as in the birth of David’s descendent, the Messiah, God’s promise was fulfilled at the right time.

“The Lord God Almighty was with him” (v10). We often do not understand God’s timing, but He has proved over and over that He is Emmanuel, God with us, and all His promises will be fulfilled.
