David loved deeply. He did not just say he cared, his actions even at their death evidenced his great affection. His response to Jonathan and Saul’s deaths as well as that of Agner. He respected each of these men and to simply acknowledge their death and move on was not his style. He composed a song and made it known through out the country when Saul and David died. At Abner’s death he fasted until sunset. It reminds us again actions speak louder than words. The end result was the trust of the people. It was David’s strength but also his heart that drew them. Oh to have a leader like that today who stood for truth and truly cared about the people not just political gain. It drives me again to pray for the upcoming election and that God will perform a miracle and rule in the heart of the one who is elected.
