King David was a worshipper, a singer, a poet, a brave man who had many weaknesses, as well as various strengths. He is such a mixture, just as we are.

David discovered what could result when Almighty God was one’s rock.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever, and David knew that the God of the Old Testament was reliable and consistent.

When being hunted by men he experienced having to hide in crags and caves, as well as stand on that rock.

Just as David had to hide at times, we too hide, in a sense, when we come to worship, not because we are running away from anything, but like attending a restaurant, we go because we are hungry – spiritually hungry for nourishment and fellowship.

Situations tend to become unstable. Circumstances can degenerate faster than we thought might happen.

We will require a very solid rock on which to stand, over these next months.

David is profoundly grateful and thankful as he praises God for being his fortress, deliverer, shield, tower, and refuge. He speaks of the solidity of God with breathtaking power and pace, painting his life story in such lively colours.

He tells us what he has been through, and how he has been rescued from cosmic and catastrophic events.

David found that God was a stronghold, a fortress, a comforter.

God fortifies His people making them more secure than the most secure of Scottish castles. Comfort is a very strong word.

No matter what danger confronted him, or what moral lapses caused him to sin, David never denied that he belonged to God, nor did he ever turn away from God,

We too need a rock on which to stand, and an anchor to keep us from drifting.
