Psalms 18:46-48
The Lord lives, and blessed be my rock,
and exalted be the God of my salvation—
the God who gave me vengeance
and subdued peoples under me,
who delivered me from my enemies;
yes, you exalted me above those who rose against me;
you rescued me from the man of violence.
Tag: God Rescues Us/Promotes Us
In Psalm 18 we have the song/Prayer of David after he was rescued from King Saul. Saul was a disappointing king and God removed him for his disobedience. However, he was not pleased. David was to replace him. King Saul sought to slay David. Many times Saul had David in places where the King could take his life, and, yet, God rescued David. But, as the above passage states, God did not simply rescue David, He promoted David "above those who rose against me." God, when He saves us, does not ONLY deliver us from peril. God also provides us extreme living for every more. Jesus tells us in the Gospel that He came to give us Life, but not just life. Note His words:
John 10:10
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
He saves us from our enemies, yes! But, God also promotes us and gives us abundant life and promotes us above our enemies.
