—2 Samuel 22:8-20
by: Matthew Berg.
Readers of the story of David have for many generations inserted Davidic Psalms at appropriate places in the narrative, suggesting the kind of praying he engaged in through the various circumstances of his life. Here the original story teller selected Psalm 18, a valedictory psalm, to reflect David’s feelings at this time. The Psalms can be extremely useful for us too, as prayers of response to our current situation. Whether you are feeling victorious, defeated, thankful, or oppressed, you can find an appropriate prayer in the Psalms. Take time today to find a Psalm that reflects your current feelings and pray it to the Lord.
