2 Samuel 23.1-7

His final thoughts on the matter are that God is faithful to His promised covenant and that He will establish His kingdom. And, God can be trusted to keep His promises to all, which also include judgement on those who reject Him

2 Samuel 23.1-7

David’s closing thoughts, his last psalm, is on leadership. David proclaims his words as inspired of God. In this last psalm, David provides two similes for leadership.

  • God’s word is like the first light of morning, which helps men to see after a long period of darkness,
  • Leadership is something that encourages and welcomes just as the first blades of grass pushing their way up after rain.

This fit well after the rule of Saul. David ruled with hope and promise. Having followed the dark days of Saul’s demented rule, David’s godly reign was depicted in each simile: his rule had brought needed light and hope to the nation.

His final thoughts on the matter are that God is faithful to His promised covenant and that He will establish His kingdom. And, God can be trusted to keep His promises to all, which also include judgement on those who reject Him.

Where do you stand?

  1. It is a comfort to know that God is loyal to us and keeps His promises. The promises He has made to us in His word are ones we can count on and find hope in. David put his faith in God and God gave Him the things He promised. We can on rely on God’s word and in its truth, and believe that God is unchanging.

  2. It is these very words that validate the Psalms as part of the Living Word of the Most High G-d
