2 Samuel 22:4-7 - I called to the Lord

22:4-6

“I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and have been saved from my enemies”. Experiencing the deliverance of the Lord is a key part of our relationship with Him. “The waves of death swirled about me; the torrents of destruction   overwhelmed me”. Note that David really felt the threat. See 2 Cor 1:9 where Paul says he felt the sentence of death on him. “The snares of death confronted me”.

22:7

“In my distress I called to the Lord”. There are a number of times in the Psalms where it says this, or something similar. We may feel that we don’t have enough faith because we are in distress. Actually the key question is to whom do we call when we are in distress. “From His temple He heard my voice”. God hears us in His temple, our cries for help go up to the throne room of heaven.
