And he will call out to me,
‘You are my Father, my God,
and the Rock of my salvation.’
Psalm 89:26
Who is the "he" who will call out to God?
Much of Psalm 89 is about the call of David, the faithfulness of David, and the godliness and success of his reign.
God could use David. Why? Because -- with very few exceptions -- David really did submit himself to God.
· He called him Father ... which implied child-like obedience.
· He recognized that God was his rock and foundation ... therefore, he rooted himself continually in the Lord.
· He knew that God was his provider and his saving help. And a warrior surely needed a rock and a salvation.
Yes, David occasionally and infamously stumbled. But when he did, he also famously recommitted and resubmitted himself to God.
If you want more out of your faith journey, David provides a good model.
· It's intellectual -- it is knowing that the Lord is my rock and foundation.
· It is trusting -- knowing that God provides, protects, and saves.
· And it is obeying -- because he is our Father and we submit to his authority.
In Christ's Love,
an intellectual guy who
tries to trust and obey
