David Has Such an Interesting Personality.

The character of David surprises me a lot. Specifically, his loyalty and faith towards God is so strong, it makes him strong in mentality, is what surprises me the most. The chapter that showed this aspect of him the most was in 15:26, “But if he thus say, I have no delight in thee; behold, here am I, let him do to me as seemeth good unto him.” His faith is so absolute that he thinks God is the one who chooses his own destiny. Probably, this is one of the reasons why God loves David so much. Because David will do whatever thing God wants to do and will accept anything that will happen wrong.
Another characteristic of him that impressed me was his size of his heart. David not only welcomed back one of this sons that killed the other son, but he grieved for that same son that was trying to overthrow him. He was able to grief because he has accepted the fact that his son was trying to betray him. Now, drawing the line between accepting and giving up is a challenging thing to do. Or at least I think so. Let’s say, you have ‘accepted’ the fact that you don’t have the ability like Beethoven. Therefore, decided to play the piano as a hobby and not try as hard as before, when you believed you come become a great pianist. How can you say that that ‘acceptance’ was not an excuse for ‘giving up’? I often hear that humans’ abilities are limitless. But I also believe that the talents are distributed differently among us. Which means some of our potentials are limited. I guess I will conclude that the balance between accepting certain things and not giving up is one of the greatest challenges I would need to overcome some day.
