June 7, 2010 Psalms 17:6-18:36

17. Continued. David asked God to hear and help him. He asked God to keep him as the apple of his eye and protect him. David was surrounded by arrogant people and he asked God to be with him, to deal with them in His way and resuce him from them. David asked God to rescue him from men whose reward was in this life, not the next. David looked forward to seeing God.

18. Calling upon God in distress. (David sang after God delivered him from Saul) David told God he loved Him. God is the great protector. When David was in danger, he called on the Lord for help and got it. The earth shook because God was angry. God rode cherubim and flew, soaring on the wind. Darkness camouflaged Him as he advanced with hail and lightning bolts preceeding Him. He routed David's enemies with his voice and lightning bolts. They scattered before God. David sank beneath the surface of the deep and God reached in and lifted him out of danger. David thought he was doomed, but God saved him. God rescued David because he loved him. David believed that God had saved him because of his righteousness. God gives us back what we give to Him. God's way is perfect, His word is flawless, and He is a shield for those who take refuge in Him. God took care of David and gave him strength, He came down to David's level to help him. God cared so much for David that He even took care to protect David's ankles!
