Scripture: 2 Samuel 22: 3-7

The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence. I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid; The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me; In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.

Scripture Commentary: God is the shield that surrounds me

David called God, “The horn of my Salvation,” referring to the strength and defensive protection animals have in their horns.  God rescued David from his enemies, and helped him overcome them.

David sinned but God had made him clean.  David wrote (in Psalms 51), “Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow … Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.”

We also are made clean and perfect through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. God replaces our sin with His purity, and He no longer sees our sin.

Call on the Lord and He will answer you.
