“Out Of Your Hands”

You’re hungry. Not just hungry. Hungry for your favorite dish at your favorite restaurant. You’ve got time in your day, money in your account, and now, keys in your hand. There’s no traffic, every light is green, and there’s a spot right by the front door. Things couldn’t be going any smoother.

Until you get to the front door and find it locked. And notice the sign taped to the door. And its message sinks in. They’re not just closed today. They’re closed for good.

Downcast, you sit on the sidewalk. You lose track of time. Your stomach growls, snapping you back to reality. And the reality is, you’re still sad. And hungry.

It doesn’t matter where you eat. Nothing will satisfy like the meal you’ll never have again. So you walk into the place next door. You order. You sit. You eat.

But your eyes go wide. Your mouth is watering and your tastebuds dancing. Could it be? Yes! This meal is better than any you’ve ever had before! You just found your new favorite restaurant.

And it’s all because things didn’t go according to plan.

This week in The Life and Lyrics of David, we pick up where we left off last week: David is anointed king of Israel. But the next story isn’t what we expect for someone who’s just been dubbed king. Join us as watch how David navigates a moment in his life when things don’t seem to be going according to plan.
