2 samuel 15: ²⁴ Zadok and all the Levites also came along, carrying the Ark of the Covenant of God. They set down the Ark of God, and Abiathar offered sacrifices until everyone had passed out of the city.

²⁵ Then the king instructed Zadok to take the Ark of God back into the city. “If the Lord sees fit,” David said, “he will bring me back to see the Ark and the Tabernacle again. ²⁶ But if he is through with me, then let him do what seems best to him.”

in this scripture.. david is leaving jerusalem because his son absalom has decided to overthrow his father as king... he has support and an army... so david is fleeing the city with his household...
 

david.. amazingly to me... rather than act like he is owed the kingdom.. like his son is oh so wrong for what he is doing... david turns the whole thing over to God... and states.. if it is God's will... then I will be back.. but if He is through with me.. then let Him do what He sees as best...
 

I don't know about you but I have never been a big enough person to say " if God is through with me " yet I wonder how often that might be the right response... we have such a hard time walking away from things... letting go of anything that we see as 'ours'.. yet really.. nothing belongs to us.. everything we have.. belongs to God.. so if He decides to end it... we should be willing to accept it and believe He must be walking us in another direction.. giving us something else...
 

in the case of david being king.. God was not done with him.. and absalom was overthrown and killed.. but I think it was a very wise man who was willing to realize that the decision of whether or not he remained king was completely up to God...
