Anointed, Transformed, Redeemed

I unintentionally left something out of the blog when telling you about our summer Bible study ... C Square Ministries was on the road again! 

My laptop went to a black screen and never came back.  With no way to show the DVDs in the exercise room, there would be no hotel study.  The only other friend taking the class offered her home, so on the road I went. 

She and I enjoyed the shorter sessions offered with the conference format.  The new teachers and styles of homework lead to discussions.  We liked Faithful, Abundant, True so much we moved onto the next one which was actually the previous one.

Anointed, Transformed, Redeemed, according to Lifeway's website, was taped at the 2007 Deeper Still women's event.  The message is divided into three segments.  Each segment focuses on the life of David at a different stage of his life: as a young man (sessions one and two by Priscilla Shirer), as a middle-aged man (sessions three and four by Beth Moore), and as a man facing the final third of his life (sessions five and six by Kay Arthur).

In this study I saw David decide to trust God in a disappointing situation.  After the ark almost fell of the new cart and Uzzah died trying to steady it, David was not willing to go on.  He was disappointed.  After some time and good news that God was blessing the temporary home of the ark, he choose to trust God.  Armed with knowledge of the correct way to carry the ark, they continued with the journey of the ark to Jerusalem.  (Dare I say David did a "Bible study" to figure out what had gone wrong?) God's presence was again with them.  He choose to trust God and was not disappointed.  Sound familiar?

Last night was our last session.  The laptop has been officially pronounced dead by a trained technician.  I wonder about God's new plan.
