I am using the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading. I had been using One Year Bible Online, but it was time for a change.

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

    I really needed David’s song of praise today. My wife and I need to find another place to live soon and we have been having trouble finding the right place. So, David’s words reinforced my faith at a time when I needed that reinforcement.

But in my distress I cried out to the Lord;
yes, I cried to my God for help.
He heard me from his sanctuary;
my cry reached his ears.

I needed that reminder that God has indeed heard my cry of desperation. The imagery which follows that quote portrays the power which God applies to answering our cries for help culminating in verse 17

He reached down from heaven and rescued me;
he drew me out of deep waters.

and then in verse 20

He led me to a place of safety;
he rescued me because he delights in me.

That last truly struck me. God will lead my wife and I to a place of safety. The Lord does indeed light up my darkness. He is my Rock. I am so thankful for this passage today.
