David and Goliath
THIS WAS KING DAVID’S SONG OF THANKSGIVING
FOR DIVINE RESCUE FROM A VASTLY SUPERIOR FOE
IT IS ALSO YOUR SONG FOR DIVINE RESCUE
IN YOUR GETHSEMANI
IN YOUR HOUR OF DARKNESS
RESCURE FROM INSURMOUNTABLE CRISES
AND UNBEARABLE PAINS
KING DAVID WAS RESCUED FROM HIS SIN
OF STEALING THE WIFE OF HIS WARRIOR.
HIS CRISIS CLEANSED HIM
TO BECOME THE MOST REVERED KING FOR GOD
THUS THE GOSPELS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT
TRACE THE LINEAGE OF JESUS TO DAVID
song of david
i love you Lord my strength
my rock my fortress my deliverer
my God my refuge
my shield my saving horn my stronghold
praise be to You
Who has delivered me from my enemies
death was all around me
torrential floods inundating me
the noose of Sehol tightening
the snares of death awaited me in ambush
in my distress i cried out to the Lord
and from His celestial abode He heard my plea
the earth trembled
cracking the foundations of mountains
His wrath ignited
smoke billowing from His breath
kindling coals into flame
He then parted the heavens
descending
with a dark cloud under His feet
flying atop cherubs
borne by the wings of the wind
the surrounding darkness veiled His majesty
a canopy of violent thunder proclaimed His coming
clouds and hail and lightning
were all around Him
the Lord thundered from the heavens
His voice echoing
His arrows and lightning bolts flew
dispersing my enemy
the sea floor surfaced
the world’s foundation was laid bare
at the roar of the Lord
His breath like a storm
He reached down from the skies
and cradled me
He drew me out of the deep waters
and rescued me from my mighty foes
too strong for my sword
they attacked on a day of distress
but the Lord came to my aid
and set me free
He rescued me because He loves me
psalm 18:1-20

on that day
a shoot shall sprout
from the stump of jesse
and from his roots
a bud shall blossom
the earth shall be filled
with the wisdom of the Lord
as waters cover the sea
on that day all shall seek out
the root of jesse
the sign to all nations
that the Lord reclaims His people
isaiah 11:1, 9-10
