How does David’s song in 2 Samuel 22 demonstrate the sovereign grace of God?

In 2 Samuel 23:3-4, David acknowledges his responsibility before God to live and rule with justice and righteousness. What spheres of influence do you have in your life? What would it look like to work for justice and righteousness in those spheres?

2 Samuel 23:8-39 describes the mighty men with whom David surrounded himself.
Why is surrounding yourself with a biblical community of Christians so important to living a godly Christian life?

Why do you think that God punishes David for his census in 2 Samuel 24?

What areas in your life are you trusting and relying on yourself, instead of looking to God? What would it look like to repent, and to trust in God in those areas, instead of leaning into self-reliance?

In 1 Kings 1-2, David looks out for his people at the end of his life, and even looks out for them on into the future after his death (by installing Solomon as their king). How can we, as Christians, be striving to leave a godly legacy that will outlast our lives here in this world?
