Victorious Me

Synopsis     2Sam 22:44-23:5     2/6/2019 

David wrote as a poet. And in this psalm of praise, he noted how God had made his life victorious. For through his life, God had brought peace to the people. What’s more, David saw God as utterly dependable and absolutely unchanging – like a rock. 

As David prepared for his own death, he once more reflected on God’s goodness. In this way, he observed how God had anointed him with purpose. And he remembered how God had supported him throughout his ministry because David had ruled justly.  

Victorious David 

David’s lived a life of vulnerability. Although he was a great king, he rejected a life of ease. He knew great challenges. And he knew great successes. But he also knew failures, disappointments and even extraordinary tragedy.  

And yet, throughout his life he lived victoriously. At the end, he was the victor. In God’s care, he was never vanquished. 

Victorious Me 

And that’s the place to live. God has given me everything for life and for Godliness. So, I can’t really fail.  

So, don’t you forget: You can’t fail.

I will walk in victory.  

In Christ, no one vanquishes the Lord’s anointed.  

“No, in all these things we conquer overwhelmingly through him who loved us.” Rom 8:37
