SUNDAY MEDITATION (Psalm 33)
Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous! For praise from the upright is beautiful.
Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous! For praise from the upright is beautiful.
But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You;
Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; Let those also who love Your name be joyful in You.
Perched on a rock formation called the Ophel at 150 to 200 feet above the valley floor, Israel’s new capital provided a strategic view of the surrounding valleys; it was highly defensible; and, it had critical access to fresh water.
It didn’t happen overnight. But, at the set time God fulfilled his promise to David and made him King of Israel.
Mercy shall be built up forever; Your faithfulness You shall establish in the very heavens. . .the heavens will praise Your wonders, O LORD; Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the saints.
Many, O LORD my God, are Your wonderful works
which You have done; and Your thoughts toward us cannot be recounted to You in order; if I would declare and speak of them,
they are more than can be numbered.
Given the essential facts of David’s predicament, we can’t help but wonder why he didn’t succumb to despair.
