- 2 Samuel 22 Daily DEVO For who is God, but the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God? 2 Samuel22:32 – I see the whole of David’s song be summed up in this verse. Who was the one who blessed them? Who was the one who saved them from their enemies? Who was the one who heard their cries and came to their rescue? The answer is the same for all, the Lord God. David was able to remind himself and all who heard this who it was who really got them to where they were at. For you and I this reminder is important too. Who was it that gave to you breath the breathe today? Who set in motion your life and orchestrated it all to how it is today? We have to give all the credit to God. Today realize you are who you are and have what you have and can do what you can do because of God. You are smart, but it’s because God designed your brain. You are talented because God gave you that skill. It’s all from God so let’s be sure to give Him all the glory that’s directed at us. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 453
- In my distress I called upon the Lord; to my God I called. From his temple he heard my voice, and my cry came to his ears. “Then the earth reeled and rocked; the foundations of the heavens trembled and quaked, because he was angry. Smoke went up from his nostrils, and devouring fire from his mouth; glowing coals flamed forth from him. He bowed the heavens and came down; thick darkness was under his feet. 2 Samuel22:7-10 – Last night I took the family out to see “Sing 2” at the theater here in Augusta. In the movie was a scene where the main characters were getting pushed around by the villain so one of the singers got on his phone, calls his dad, and asked for help. The response from the dad? You hear knuckles cracking, his truck revving up, and him say he’s on his way. That’s the image I’m getting from this passage. David calls out for help from his Heavenly Father and God shows up big time. Even the earth couldn’t handle the arrival of God when He showed up for David. While we might not literally see God come down like this, know David didn’t either yet He still truly believed God was for Him and the source of his salvation. God is for you and comes to our rescue. It can seem like that’s not true and feel like God doesn’t care sometimes, but feelings aren’t reliable and what we see isn’t always the truth. Bet on the truth of scripture instead of our feelings and what we see. Scripture clearly shows God takes care of His own and is available to be called upon anytime. You are not alone in your fight. While things look that way, the situation feels lost, and the enemy is often shouting so loud we can’t think of anything else than what he is saying, know God is here with you. He loves you and He’s going to fight for you. If the vapor of His breath can create galaxies, imagine what He can do to the enemy who’s coming after His beloved child? I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 1881
