Understanding the Scriptures - 4

God’s faithfulness – Psalm 18:3

God saved David, protected him, and strengthened him when  Saul and his men were out to kill him. Is God your refuge and your strength [Ps. 46:1]?

God’s righteousness – Psalm 18:4

Those had been stormy years  for David, yet God rescued him and upheld His dedicated servant. David had obeyed God’s Word and accomplished God’s will, so God rewarded him. When the storms come, remember that God is  greater than the storms and will help you see the rainbow.

God’s gentleness – Psalm 18:28

God did many things to make David a great soldier, but His gentleness made David what he was [v.35]. god was doing more than winning  wars; He was building character. It humbled David  to think that God would condescend to call him, equip him, and help him [Ps.8:3-5]. [See Ps. 113:6; Isa. 57:15-16]

God’s exaltedness – Psalm 18:37

David did not take credit for his victories; he gave all the glory to the Lord. Whatever David had, God gave it to him; whatever he was, God 1made him; whatever he did, God enabled him. Blessed be the name of the Lord!

A day of trouble – Psalm 20:1-3

David was going out to battle, and he and his people gathered to pray. His secret of victory was the name of the Lord [v.1], the  Lord he worshipped sincerely and sacrificially.

A day of triumph – Psalm 20:4

Again, it is in the name of the Lord that you fight the forces of evil [v.5]. God hears  and answers pray and sends you the help you need.

A day of trust – Psalm 20:7

David had a great name, but the name of the Lord is much greater. Some people have names that cannot be trusted, but God’s name has never failed.  Your days of trouble can become days of triumph if you trust in the name of the Lord.
