GOD attributed specific nature(s) to each of HIS heroes we find in Bible

GOD attributed specific nature(s) to each of HIS heroes we find in Bible and made them famous by that character. For example GOD called David a man after HIS own heart (1 Sam 13:14 & Acts 13:22); GOD called Abraham HIS friend (2 Chr 20:7 & James 2:23); GOD called Moses faithful than all men on the face of the earth (Numbers 12:3 & 12:7). 

Why do you think GOD attributed specific characteristics to each one of them? It is because each of them exhibited a character so strongly that even we can sense and see those characters when we read GOD’s Word. 

If we see David, David has a character of long suffering which is a character of GOD. We only remember David as always to have been a hero and a play boy. We think he had no worries to care for that much or that he had no struggle in his life. But if we carefully read Psalms we will find something which we might have never expected. (Psalms 41:8; 38:3-8; 55:4-7; 42:3; 44:24-25). Yet David was unmoved to turn away from what he believed, from the revelation what he got. We can see this when David says I will yet praise HIM; HE is the health of my countenance (Psalms 43:5). David further says that he will make GOD his refuge UNTIL all calamities are past. (Psalms 57:1,2).

Finally David says that he is delivered from all troubles (Psalms 54:7). Here is a list of sufferings of David: 1) no soundness in flesh, 2) no rest in bones 3) wounds are stinking with foul smell, loathsome (no one is approaching David and hating him for the stinking smell) 4) Loins are filled with loathsome disease 5) crying and roaring with pain in his body, disquiet in his heart 6) fear of death 7) fear and horror 8) facing people’s wrath who are asking “where is your GOD whom you said is your shield and strong tower” 9) GOD is hiding HIS face from him
