He sent from
on high, He took me; He drew me out of many waters
Psalm 18:16
He brought me into a broad place; He
rescued me, because He delighted in me.
Psalm 18:19
________________________________________________________________________________
The waters that swirled around David
represent his enemies and ultimately death. God reached down and
drew David up, just as he did with Moses (Exodus 2:10). In both
instances the water represents that which could overcome and destroy,
but the Lord is faithful to draw his children out from the pit of
destruction (Psalm 40:2).
We can all sit and think of the many
things causing us to drown: work, relationships, sickness, emotional
pain. In all of these things we can have confidence that the God who
rescued David and Moses is the same God that left his throne to
rescue us.
Even more, God does not rescue us
reluctantly or out of pitty, but rather, He “delights in us.”
WHAT?
How can a perfect and holy God look
upon those that are broken and delight in them? “Why Jehovah should
delight in us is an answerless question, and a mystery which angels
cannot solve; but that He does delight in His beloved is certain, and
is the fruitful root of favours as numerous as they are precious”
(Spurgeon).
Remember Christian: We are never beyond
His help, and we are never beyond His love.
Recently in my life I have experienced
the very things that I mentioned above. My husband and I have had
some pretty big life decisions to make and my immediate reaction is
to feel completely overwhelmed. It really does feel as though the
waters are rising all around and there is nothing that can be done.
It is a great comfort to know that the God who rescued Moses and
David is the God that will walk with us through every decision,
trial, and victory.
