In 1 Chronicles 14, King David’s archenemy, the Philistines, marched towards David. After God gave David permission to attack, he defeated the Philistines.
But the Philistines didn’t give up. They prepared to attack again. This time, God gave David an unconventional approach to defeat the Philistines.
God told David not to go straight-up at the Philistines, but instead, to circle around the Philistines. When David heard marching in the trees, he was to attack the Philistines in front of the poplar trees.
David was victorious. Due to God’s brilliant strategy, David’s fame spread worldwide.
In 1 Chronicles 14:17 we read, “So David’s fame spread throughout every land, and the Lord made all the nations fear him.”
If you are seeking fame, your best bet is to listen and obey God.
