Today, I am reading and commenting on 2 Samuel 20-22.

I love the imagery of David’s song which was recorded here.  The passage tells us that David composed this song after he had been delivered from the hands of his enemies, specifically from the hand of Saul.  David says that he called out to the Lord when he was in distress and his life was under threat.  He saw no way to survive his enemies attacks through his own actions.  So, in his distress David called out to God.  God heard David’s cry and the earth trembled because of God’s anger.  And why was God angry?  God was angry because one whom He had chosen was in distress.  We, who are followers of Jesus, have been chosen by God and He will react to our cries of distress in the same way that he responded to David’s cries.  If you are in distress, cry out to God and He will come to your rescue.

There is one other part of David’s song which I want to write about.  David tells us that if we approach God with faithfulness, God will respond with Faithfulness.  If we approach God with with blamelessness, we will find nothing with which to blame God.  If e approach Him with purity, we will find God pure.  But if we approach God deviously, looking for a loophole, we will find Him shrewd.  We will not outsmart God, but if we approach Him with humbleness and faith, He will reward us with honor.
