David made huge mistakes during his life, but he fully understood that God had never left him. 2 Samuel 23 begins with, what is subtitled in my bible, “David’s last words.” David, writing out of his relationship with God, said of himself . . .
. . . a man to whom God gave success
. . . a man anointed by God
. . . sweet psalmist of Israel
. . . Spirit of the Lord speaks through me; his words are on my tongue
. . . an everlasting covenant with me . . . eternal, final, sealed
. . . (He will) constantly look after my safety & success
David was able to rule effectively because first . . . God ruled David’s life!
David delighted in God’s word . . . God delighted in speaking to and through David!
David could have spoken regret over all the times he “missed it” in his walk with God. Instead, he chose to speak what God had done in, through, and for him.
2 Samuel 23 continues naming David’s mightiest men and David’s thirty might men . . . God’s own Green Beret or Navy Seals or Special Op(eration) forces . . . God’s elite!
Thank you Father, for always being with me. Because of Jesus' blood, I am a woman with purpose . . . God’s plan and purpose for my life . . .
. . . a woman to whom God has given success
. . . a woman anointed by God
. . . a sweet psalmist
. . . God’s word on my tongue
. . . confident of His eternal, final, sealed covenant with me
. . . God ruled
. . . God focused
. . . part of God’s special op forces!
