Took David a couple times to have the faith to act. I'm not sure if this is just good wisdom or lack of trust. I think I'll go with wisdom. If God is willing to tell us once, it's no extra burden for him to tell us twice.

That is really interesting. Doesn't seem to affect God's interactions with David though. God is still giving David blessing and instruction. When we know someone is making poor life choices or not listening to us or doing something we just don't think is right it definitely impacts and maybe even blocks the relationship. But nothing can separate God from us which is a comforting thing.
