Week 8: The Lord Gave Victory

2 Samuel 8 describes how God fulfilled His promises to David. After securing his throne, David wins victories over the Philistines, Moabites, Syrians, and Edomites. However, the focus of the chapter is not on David’s strength but on God's faithfulness: “The Lord gave victory to David wherever he went.” Every battle, success, and treasure was dedicated to the Lord. David ruled with power, righteousness, and justice, bringing peace to the nation. This chapter reminds us that true victory belongs to God, that genuine leadership reflects His character, and that every blessing should be offered back to Him in gratitude and service.
