21:1-2 David was filled with gratitude and joy for the strength, salvation and answer to blessing He provided him with. King David always ensured that his relationship with God went both ways. God was generous and gracious, David was obedient and thankful. It was God's strength that powered him through life and the joy of God's love that lighted his days.
21:3-4 God provides life: life that is full and purposeful, steady and progressive. The children of God who serve Him are loved by Him, cared for by Him, as royalty. Our provision from Him is abundant; we receive both what we need and the good things we wants us to have.
21:5-6 God's own glory, honor, and majesty is placed upon the life of His children; for that reason, we live differently than does the rest of the world. We rest on God's peace; we benefit from His orchestration of both personal and universal details.
21:7 A relationship with God must have a relationship of trust. David received comfort and mercy from God because he trusted God to provide it. Fear and worry dissipated because of that deep trust; God's adept orchestration in difficult situations proved to David that God could be relied on.
21:8-12 Moreover, we can trust, as David did, that God can handle His enemies. And God's enemies are the people who antagonize you. So we can trust that His light will pierce the darkness that tries to infiltrate our life.
21:13 David exalted God, praised Him and sang of God's power and strength. He marveled at God's characteristics: supernatural mercy and grace, undefeated power and strength, abundant love and impenetrable defense.
