ISRAEL'S SINGER OF SONGS

Passage: 2Samuel 23:1~7  

Key verse: 2


1. The Spirit spoke through me (1-2)

David was a mighty warrior and a powerful king. He was a poet and a musician. Most importantly, he was a shepherd who taught his people the word of God; the Lord's Spirit spoke through him.

2. A king who feared God (3-7)

Some people become proud when they get power and authority. They use their power indiscriminately, at their own pleasure. But David was a king who ruled in righteousness because he had the fear and love of God in his heart. He was like the light of the morning sunrise which promises a beautiful day. God's covenant with David looked toward the future. His house would be the source of God's blessing for all people, for from his house would come the Messiah who would bring to fruition salvation for a sinsick world. But those who reject God's servant will be burned up like thorns on the day of God's wrath.


Prayer: Lord, let your word be on my tongue, and love for you be in my heart.
