Secondo libro di Samuele 22:1

Too often, we turn to things of this world to take away our pain – things that leave us unsatisfied and hurt. But God promises to be an ever-present comforter in our hardest times. In this 5-day Bible Reading Plan, you’ll discover the promises of God in the Bible that can comfort and encourage you when you’re experiencing pain and help you move forward when hurt has you paralyzed.

Many believers know about Jesus, few truly know Him personally. This 5-day devotional invites you to encounter Christ as your strength, your rock, your fortress, your deliverer, your shield, and your stronghold. Through Scripture, reflection, and practical application, you will deepen your understanding of who Jesus is and how He desires to reveal Himself in your everyday life.

2 Samuel depicts the ascension and reign of King David following the death of Saul and Jonathan. David united the kingdom, established Jerusalem as the capital city, and extended the territory of Israel. At the crescendo of the book, God promises David that "your throne shall be established forever" (2 Samuel 7:16). Despite David's wickedness, God ultimately fulfills his promises to David through the person and work of Jesus Christ.

By the end of this study, we pray that you will know God’s voice better, that you will know when and how he speaks, and feel compelled to obey. As we study Scripture, we will discover that God’s plan cannot be thwarted regardless of who is in power. The point of the original monarchy found in 1 and 2 Samuel, illustrates that from the beginning.
