Today’s reading:
2 Sam. 12:11-22:18
A thought or two:
In Chapter 22 we read an awesome praise song by King David. He goes on and on about how God has saved him and rescued him and really how good God is. The interesting thing about this passage is that it is in the context of Chapter 21. In that chapter there is a story where four of David’s men fought for David and one of them even rescued David’s life.
Did God save David or did David’s men save David? Chapter 21 says it was David’s men, but in chapter 22 David gave God all of the credit. So which one was it? Both, but it was primarily God. God placed faithful men in David’s life that saw the value of saving David’s life. Where did that value come from? God placed that value on David’s life and discerning men saw that value. Not everyone saw that value. Sometimes David didn’t even see that value in himself. Many times people tried to kill David, they obviously didn’t see what God had placed in him (or they did see it and they didn’t like it).
God places discerning people in our lives to see the value of what God is doing in you. Those people are there to encourage and sometimes even guide and protect you. There will be many people in your life that don’t see the value God has placed on your life. You might not even see your own value. You may currently have no one in your life that sees God’s value in your life, you need to find one! If you have someone who does see that value in your life, realize that is God aiding you through that person! Appreciate those people, but give God the praise and glory for His hand that is mighty in your life to save and rescue you!
