DAVID on DELIVERANCE

 

David, the faithful:

Psalm 23

King James Version

23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: 

he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: 

he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness 

for his name's sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley 

of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: 

for thou art with me; 

thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me 

in the presence of mine enemies: 

thou anointest my head with oil; 

my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me 

all the days of my life: 

and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

David was a great king.

His devotion to GOD made him one.

Beset by battles, he called upon the LORD always.

How did the LORD save him?

Here's his testimony:

2 Samuel 22:1

King James Version

22 And David spake unto the Lord the words of this song in the day that the Lord had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:

2 Samuel 22:2

King James Version

2 And he said, The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;

2 Samuel 22:3

King James Version

3 The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.

2 Samuel 22:4

King James Version

4 I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

2 Samuel 22:5-7

King James Version

5 When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;

6 The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;

7 In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.

2 Samuel 22:14-15

King James Version

14 The Lord thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.

15 And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.

2 Samuel 22:17

King James Version

17 He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters;

2 Samuel 22:18-19

King James Version

18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.

19 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the Lord was my stay.

2 Samuel 22:20

King James Version

20 He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

2 Samuel 22:30

King James Version

30 For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.

2 Samuel 22:33-35

King James Version

33 God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.

34 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet: and setteth me upon my high places.

35 He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

King James Version

36 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.

2 Samuel 22:37

King James Version

37 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.

2 Samuel 22:38-40

King James Version

38 I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.

39 And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.

40 For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.

2 Samuel 22:41-43

King James Version

41 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.

42 They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the Lord, but he answered them not.

43 Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad.

2 Samuel 22:44-46

King James Version

44 Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, thou hast kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me.

45 Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me.

46 Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places.

2 Samuel 22:48-49

King James Version

48 It is God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me.

49 And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.

Why did the LORD delight in David?

Why did He help him?

Here's what David said:

2 Samuel 22:21-25

King James Version

21 The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness: 

according to the cleanness of my hands 

hath he recompensed me.

22 For I have kept the ways of the Lord, 

and have not wickedly departed from my God.

23 For all his judgments were before me: 

and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.

24 I was also upright before him, 

and have kept myself from mine iniquity.

25 Therefore the Lord hath recompensed me 

according to my righteousness; 

according to my cleanness in his eye sight.

But woe to the "unsavory":

2 Samuel 22:26-28

King James Version

26 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, 

and with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright.

27 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; 

and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury.

28 And the afflicted people thou wilt save: 

but thine eyes are upon the haughty, 

that thou mayest bring them down.

Such was David's devotion to GOD:

2 Samuel 22:29

King James Version

29 For thou art my lamp, O Lord: 

and the Lord will lighten my darkness.

We can all learn from the LORD JESUS, from the anointed kings, prophets, apostles, disciples, and saints.

To GOD is always the GLORY!

Ephesians 1:16-17

King James Version

16 Cease not to give thanks for you, 

making mention of you in my prayers;

17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

the Father of glory, 

may give unto you 

the spirit of wisdom and revelation 

in the knowledge of him:

WRATH of GOD

 

Ezekiel 25:17

King James Version

17 And I will execute great vengeance upon them 

with furious rebukes; 

and they shall know that I am the Lord, 

when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.

The whole Bible speaks of GOD's love.

And yet, it also speaks of GOD's wrath.

At man's sin, disobedience, pride, greed, vanity, and idolatry.

After the flood, GOD made a covenant with Noah:

Genesis 9:11

King James Version

11 And I will establish my covenant with you, 

neither shall all flesh be cut off any more 

by the waters of a flood; 

neither shall there any more be a flood 

to destroy the earth.

Genesis 9:13-15

King James Version

13 I do set my bow in the cloud, 

and it shall be for a token of a covenant 

between me and the earth.

14 And it shall come to pass, 

when I bring a cloud over the earth, 

that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:

15 And I will remember my covenant, 

which is between me and you 

and every living creature of all flesh; 

and the waters shall no more become a flood 

to destroy all flesh.

Yes, there will be no more flood.

But even so, man continues to sin.

This time, we shall perish by fire.

For this is the POWER of GOD:

Exodus 24:17

King James Version

17 And the sight of the glory of the Lord 

was like devouring fire 

on the top of the mount 

in the eyes of the children of Israel.

Leviticus 10:1-2

King James Version

10 And Nadab and Abihu, 

the sons of Aaron, 

took either of them his censer, 

and put fire therein, 

and put incense thereon, 

and offered strange fire before the Lord, 

which he commanded them not.

2 And there went out fire from the Lord, 

and devoured them, 

and they died before the Lord.

Numbers 11:1-3

King James Version

11 And when the people complained, 

it displeased the Lord: 

and the Lord heard it; 

and his anger was kindled; 

and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, 

and consumed them 

that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.

2 And the people cried unto Moses; 

and when Moses prayed unto the Lord, 

the fire was quenched.

3 And he called the name of the place Taberah: 

because the fire of the Lord burnt among them.

Numbers 16:35

King James Version

35 And there came out a fire from the Lord, 

and consumed the two hundred and fifty men 

that offered incense.

Numbers 21:4-6

King James Version

4 And they journeyed from mount Hor 

by the way of the Red sea, 

to compass the land of Edom: 

and the soul of the people was much discouraged 

because of the way.

5 And the people spake against God, 

and against Moses, 

Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt 

to die in the wilderness? 

for there is no bread, 

neither is there any water; 

and our soul loatheth this light bread.

6 And the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, 

and they bit the people; 

and much people of Israel died.

Deuteronomy 4:24

King James Version

24 For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, 

even a jealous God.

Deuteronomy 32:22-24

King James Version

22 For a fire is kindled in mine anger, 

and shall burn unto the lowest hell, 

and shall consume the earth with her increase, 

and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.

23 I will heap mischiefs upon them; 

I will spend mine arrows upon them.

24 They shall be burnt with hunger, 

and devoured with burning heat, 

and with bitter destruction: 

I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, 

with the poison of serpents of the dust.

Psalm 11:5-6

King James Version

5 The Lord trieth the righteous: 

but the wicked and him that loveth violence 

his soul hateth.

6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, 

fire and brimstone, 

and an horrible tempest: 

this shall be the portion of their cup.

Hebrews 12:28-29

King James Version

28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom 

which cannot be moved, 

let us have grace, 

whereby we may serve God acceptably 

with reverence and godly fear:

29 For our God is a consuming fire.

Revelation 19:11-16

King James Version

11 And I saw heaven opened, 

and behold a white horse; 

and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, 

and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, 

and on his head were many crowns; 

and he had a name written, 

that no man knew, but he himself.

13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood:

 and his name is called The Word of God.

14 And the armies which were in heaven 

followed him upon white horses, 

clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, 

that with it he should smite the nations: 

and he shall rule them with a rod of iron:

 and he treadeth the winepress 

of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

16 And he hath on his vesture 

and on his thigh a name written, 

King Of Kings, 

And Lord Of Lords.

It's time to know what angers GOD, and what He is capable of.

Because the Bible is replete with instances of GOD's wrath, at man's unrepentant spirit, for this post, we share what JESUS and His PROPHETS say:

Isaiah 13:6-13

King James Version

6 Howl ye; 

for the day of the Lord is at hand; 

it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.

7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, 

and every man's heart shall melt:

8 And they shall be afraid: 

pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; 

they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: 

they shall be amazed one at another; 

their faces shall be as flames.

9 Behold, 

the day of the Lord cometh, 

cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, 

to lay the land desolate: 

and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.

10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof 

shall not give their light: 

the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, 

and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.

11 And I will punish the world for their evil, 

and the wicked for their iniquity; 

and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, 

and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.

12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; 

even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.

13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, 

and the earth shall remove out of her place, 

in the wrath of the Lord of hosts, 

and in the day of his fierce anger.

Isaiah 26:21

King James Version

21 For, behold, 

the Lord cometh out of his place 

to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: 

the earth also shall disclose her blood, 

and shall no more cover her slain.

Isaiah 66:15-16

King James Version

15 For, behold, 

the Lord will come with fire, 

and with his chariots like a whirlwind, 

to render his anger with fury, 

and his rebuke with flames of fire.

16 For by fire and by his sword 

will the Lord plead with all flesh: 

and the slain of the Lord shall be many.

Jeremiah 51:25

King James Version

25 Behold, 

I am against thee, 

O destroying mountain, 

saith the Lord, 

which destroyest all the earth: 

and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, 

and roll thee down from the rocks, 

and will make thee a burnt mountain.

Micah 1:1-5

King James Version

1 The word of the Lord that came to Micah the Morasthite 

in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, 

kings of Judah, 

which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.

2 Hear, all ye people; 

hearken, O earth, 

and all that therein is: 

and let the Lord God be witness against you, 

the Lord from his holy temple.

3 For, behold, 

the Lord cometh forth out of his place, 

and will come down, 

and tread upon the high places of the earth.

4 And the mountains shall be molten under him, 

and the valleys shall be cleft, 

as wax before the fire, 

and as the waters that are poured down a steep place.

5 For the transgression of Jacob is all this, 

and for the sins of the house of Israel. 

What is the transgression of Jacob? 

is it not Samaria? 

and what are the high places of Judah? 

are they not Jerusalem?

Nahum 1:2-6

King James Version

2 God is jealous, and the Lord revengeth; 

the Lord revengeth, and is furious; 

the Lord will take vengeance on his adversaries, 

and he reserveth wrath for his enemies.

3 The Lord is slow to anger, 

and great in power,

 and will not at all acquit the wicked: 

the Lord hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, 

and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

4 He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, 

and drieth up all the rivers: 

Bashan languisheth, 

and Carmel, 

and the flower of Lebanon languisheth.

5 The mountains quake at him, 

and the hills melt, 

and the earth is burned at his presence, 

yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.

6 Who can stand before his indignation? 

and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? 

his fury is poured out like fire, 

and the rocks are thrown down by him.

Zephaniah 3:8

King James Version

8 Therefore wait ye upon me, 

saith the Lord, 

until the day that I rise up to the prey: 

for my determination is to gather the nations, 

that I may assemble the kingdoms, 

to pour upon them mine indignation, 

even all my fierce anger: 

for all the earth shall be devoured 

with the fire of my jealousy.

Malachi 4

King James Version

4 For, behold, 

the day cometh, 

that shall burn as an oven; 

and all the proud, 

yea, and all that do wickedly, 

shall be stubble: 

and the day that cometh shall burn them up, 

saith the Lord of hosts, 

that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

2 But unto you that fear my name 

shall the Sun of righteousness arise 

with healing in his wings; 

and ye shall go forth, 

and grow up as calves of the stall.

3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; 

for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet 

in the day that I shall do this, 

saith the Lord of hosts.

4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, 

which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, 

with the statutes and judgments.

5 Behold, 

I will send you Elijah the prophet 

before the coming 

of the great and dreadful day of the Lord:

6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, 

and the heart of the children to their fathers, 

lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

Matthew 13:30

King James Version

30 Let both grow together until the harvest: 

and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, 

Gather ye together first the tares, 

and bind them in bundles to burn them: 

but gather the wheat into my barn.

Matthew 13:38-43

King James Version

38 The field is the world; 

the good seed are the children of the kingdom; 

but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; 

the harvest is the end of the world; 

and the reapers are the angels.

40 As therefore the tares are gathered 

and burned in the fire; 

so shall it be in the end of this world.

41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, 

and they shall gather out of his kingdom 

all things that offend, 

and them which do iniquity;

42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: 

there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun 

in the kingdom of their Father. 

Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Matthew 24:14

King James Version

14 And this gospel of the kingdom 

shall be preached in all the world 

for a witness unto all nations; 

and then shall the end come.

Luke 13:3

King James Version

3 I tell you, 

Nay: but, except ye repent, 

ye shall all likewise perish.

John 3:35-36

King James Version

35 The Father loveth the Son, 

and hath given all things into his hand.

36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: 

and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; 

but the wrath of God abideth on him.

John 15:6

King James Version

6 If a man abide not in me, 

he is cast forth as a branch, 

and is withered; 

and men gather them, 

and cast them into the fire, 

and they are burned.

2 Peter 3:7

King James Version

7 But the heavens and the earth, 

which are now, 

by the same word are kept in store, 

reserved unto fire 

against the day of judgment and perdition 

of ungodly men.

2 Peter 3:10-12

King James Version

10 But the day of the Lord will come 

as a thief in the night; 

in the which the heavens shall pass away 

with a great noise, 

and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, 

the earth also and the works that are therein 

shall be burned up.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, 

what manner of persons ought ye to be 

in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming 

of the day of God, 

wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, 

and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
