God's Manual for Times of Transition Alan L Webb

Saul, the King of Israel, has been killed by the Philistines in the Battle on Mount Gilboa. This event brought to an end 42 years of chaos in the nation of Israel. The kingdom passes into the hands of David, God's Anointed. These events initiate a fierce struggle between chaos and order. In the Book of Second Samuel we witness a time of transition. God's Anointed is now in place but that does not mean chaos will disappear quietly into the night. Chaos will mount a ferocious opposition and do everything it can to thwart God's purpose. Second Samuel has a timeless message. You may be a believer in Jesus but the old man and indwelling sin will always be lurking in the shadows looking to seize any opportunity to inject their poisonous chaos into your life. The holy words of God in Second Samuel will not only entertain you and inform you, they will give you much needed ammunition to fight against anyone and anything which would attempt to steal God's order and bring about chaos in your life.
