"God Reached Down & Took Hold of Me" 2 Samuel 21-22; Luke 18:24-43


The historian draws his conclusion of David's reign. It is David's weighty words as he ends his life on earth--- and they are spoken by inspiration. And he refers to his seed who will live forevermore. 

David settles the crown on Solomon's head;                                                                                                  he settles his treasures upon the temple which was to be built by the next king.                                     Here. Worthy words to be remembered to this very day. His house is right with God. He was raised up on high to see further than his neighbors.  

So I sit tonight at a sweet spot where it was the lowest of the lows for me about 17 years ago. A place where I never thought I'd see the light of day. The Great Divide. Where God stepped in and took hold of me. 2 Sam 22:17-19 and rescued me from deep waters. "He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters. And I don't even know how to swim. And my friends confronted me, but the Lord was my support. And He brought me to a spacious place. It took a bit. It was worth everything to know Him now. 2 Sam 24:14 - may we continue to fall into the hands of God and His Great Mercy and not into human hands. "I am in deep distress. Let us fall into the hands of the LORD."

2 Sam 24:14 - you will be like the Light coming up on a cloudless morning.  Like the brightness after the rain on the sprouting grass of the earth.
