OT: The Book of Psalms, Psalm 28

Psalm 28:1-9

28:1-2 David knew that the quality of his character and the survival of his soul was dependent on his relationship with God.  Not only did David listen for God's instruction, he was obedient to it.


28:3-5 David trusted God to administer justice; he did not seek his own vengeance or order. It was the will of God that David welcomed into his life and over the world he lived in. He knew that God's justice was perfect and impartial, fair and just. As we develop our faith, it becomes easier to relinquish control and allow God to operate.

28:6-7 We can rejoice with David because God is our strength and shield, our rescuer who hears our calls for help. We live with gratitude because God will never betray or fail our trust.

28:8-9 The Lord is our strength and refuge, our savior and Father and shepherd. His love covers us completely, the details of our lives comprehensively. Forever.
