2 Samuel 3:36 & 8:15

 

 

2 Samuel 3:36



New Living Translation (NLT)
 
 

36 This pleased the people very much. In fact, everything the king did pleased them!

 

2 Samuel 8:15



New Living Translation (NLT)


 
15 So David reigned over all Israel and did what was just and right for all his people.




David pleased the people, not because he tried to please them, but because he tried to please God. Often those who try the hardest to become popular never make it. But the praise of the people is not that important. Don't spend your time devising ways to become accepted in the public eye. Instead strive to do what is right, and both God and people will respect your convictions.
