About this episode

Emily Downs discusses the importance of responding to God's guidance as illustrated by David's actions in 2 Samuel.

In second Samuel God told David to move quickly when he heard a rustling in the mulberry trees. This was a supernatural act and David's job was to respond quickly. There is a wonderful picture here for us today; when God is stirring you to move forward, don't hesitate, He is with you. David won that battle because he listened for the rustling in the trees.
