God Will Make You Secure
Backgrounder on 2 Samuel 21-24:
The last four chapters of 2Samuel
form an appendix to the main
body of the book and includes
a beautiful psalm of deliverance,
a list of David’s mighty men of
valour and David worshipping
the Lord in humility.
Lord, You will make me Secure:
It is God who arms me with
strength & keep my way secure.
He makes my feet like the feet
of a deer; he causes me to stand
on the heights (2 Sam 22:33-34).
Blessed be The Rock of my
salvation! He delivers me and
lifts me up above those who rise
against me (2 Sam 22:47-48).
Some of the challenges we face
in life can make us feel insecure.
Our fears tell us that if we take a
wrong step, we’ll fall into danger.
David used the feet of the nimble
deer as a reminder of the strength
and assurance God provides.
He exchanges our slippery feet
and our doubts for the deerlike
feet of the overcomer.
Lord, thank you for your offer
to arm me with strength and
offer to help me stand Secure.
I crave for these your assurances
and appropriate them by faith.
Please put a spring in my step
like the deer as I follow where
you lead and do what I may
think is impossible.
Lord, thank you for providing
stability and for being our rock,
and the God of our salvation.I may
enter each day with the intention
to trust in your great power.
Yet when the winds blow and
the waves rise, I may forget to
look at you. Forgive me each time
I have not sought refuge in you.
As my rock & my salvation, be my
stability when things are not stable.
Help me focus on U my solid rock!
In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
