David Conquers

David - our focus these past weeks! Why? Because he's so much like all of us...

Loves God Falls... Sins... Discouraged... Encouraged... Righteous... Conquers... Worships God...

In fact, David and Psalms (1/2 he wrote) mirror nearly all our lives the ups and downs!

Let's do a quick review:

1. 1 Sam. 17 - He stands alone for God (Israel covering behind him) facing God's enemies (Goliath + co.). Why? UNCHANGING CONCERN FOR GOD'S HONOR! Now Psalms mirror David's life.

2. 1 Sam. 19:11-18 > Psalm 59 We see David depending on God (when assassins come/Saul). Why? UNSHAKEABLE TRUST IN GOD'S PROTECTION

3. 1 Sam. 21:10-12 > Psalm 56 We see David confident (Ps. 56:9)! Why! "THIS I KNOW THAT GOD IS FOR ME" DISTINCT IMPRESSION GOD IS ON HIS SIDE!

4. 1 Sam. 21:13-15 > Ps. 34 We see David magnifying God. Why? UNWAVERING AWARENESS GOD WAS WATCHING

5. 1 Sam. 22:1-2 > Ps. 142 We see Daavid calling on God. Why? UNFAILING HOPE GOD WAS LISTENING AND HEARING

6. 1 Sam. 23:133-14 > Ps. 63 We see David seeking God. Why? ABUNDANT SATISFACTION GOD REFRESHED HIM

7. 1 Sam. 23:19-25 > Ps. 54 We see David finding refuge in God. Why? CONSTANTLY SETTING GOD BEFORE HIMSELF V. 30

8. 1 Sam. 24:16-22 > Ps. 57 We see David rising above discouragement. Why? APPLYING HIS GREAT DISCOVERIES ABOUT GOD Learned Ps. 142

9. 2 Sam. 5:17-25 - 2 Sam. 22 > Ps. 18 We find David triumphing over all enemies! Why?
   SEEING LIFE FROM GOD'S PERSPECTIVE

And what might that be?
