Singing In The Rain!

I can imagine how all of Philistine must have been celebrating his capture.

Oh great giant killer…

What are you going to do now?

Where's your God now?

You're not so great now are you?

Who are you going to call on now?

What they didn't realize was, while David was in prison…

David's God was not in prison!

David's God was still on the throne...

David's God was still great and worthy to be praised! Amen??

David’s God was still bigger than anything they could do to David!

David's God was just waiting for the word!

So what is David to do?

What would you have done?

I don't know about you..but I'd be getting my Worship on, just like he did!

At this point their was nowhere to go but to the Lord...He had nowhere else to turn, but to the Lord...

Looked like David was at the end of the rope, seemed to be that David was down to nothing… But how many of you know when it seems you're down to nothing...God is always up to something. Amen??

It wasn't over! And even though the verse had not been written yet in the Bible, He who started the work in David, was going to be faithful, and was going to finish the work in David! David realized the Victory was in God’s hands, nothing has changed...every Victory, every gift, originates in God’s hands and then sifts through His hands to our point of need!

In verses 1-4 of this Psalm...David declares that GOD IS MERCIFUL!

1-2: Take my side, God—I’m getting kicked around,

stomped on every day.

Not a day goes by

but somebody beats me up

God not only knows what's going on in your life...He also cares about

What's going on in your life! He's also interested, how you react to what's going on in your Life! Do you react in faith, or fear?

3-4: When I get really afraid I come to you in trust.

I’m proud to praise God; fearless now, I trust in God.

What can mere mortals do?

As I read this… I couldn't help but think how David was a man of faith and also a man after gods own heart...but when we read here it says "when I get really afraid I come to you in trust"

I realize that david had a lot of human nature and him just like all of us do!

This gives me hope and courage...because no matter how many triumphs

and accomplishments we read about David… There were times in his life like all of us, where he was afraid...

He may have been a man after gods own heart, but he was still a man, he was

flesh and bones like you and I. Amen??

Like David, we all get caught up in the moment and what we think

we are capable of doing…but the reality of the situation,

always comes back to God's capabilities and God's capabilities alone

In the time of need!

"I’m proud to praise God; fearless now, I trust in God.

What can mere mortals do?"

Perfect love, cast out all fear. And when the fear is gone from our lives, it

Produces Courage! Realizing the power of God's love in every situation produces courage.

David's new found confidence says it this way...

"If God be for me...who can be against me"

And while the accuser would like nothing better than the turmoil and strife to never end! he knows, if God is for you "nothing else matters". Game Over, turn out the lights!
