Today's reading is full of anxiety and danger for young
David, but it is also full of evidence that God was with him, guiding him and
protecting him from harm. All David needed was to look back on his own history
to see the clear hand of God at work in his life.
As we go through life, we too will experience times of
anxiety, frustration, maybe even life threatening danger. I know I have. In
looking back on my life I can definitely see times of “divine protection” for
both me and my family. Although we don't have the same kingly promises as
David, we can still be confident of God's guiding, protective hand in our
lives.
As David wrote: “The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear
him, and he delivers them” (Psalm 34:7)
The Truth
“God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in
trouble.” (Psalm 46:1)
