对今日诗句的想法
从小牧童到君王；从听差的童子到战场英雄；从出身小城镇到伟大帝国的领袖——神赐给了大卫王不可思议的祝福。然而大卫所关心的，则是神亲近他与他的后嗣，并保守对他许下的承诺。在大卫一生对神的侍奉中，我们看到最多的就是大卫已经懂得：将来、每一次战斗以及任何真实的盼望，都源于以色列神的同在。神若开口，他必履行自己的话语；神若付诸行动，他必施行拯救。因此，大卫祈求神行出神所渴望的——祝福百姓并保守承诺。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
God had blessed King David incredibly. God had taken him from a despised little brother and shepherd boy who became a great warrior and Israel's King. David went from an errand boy to a war hero, from a small nowhere town to become the leader of a great empire. David's concern, however, was that God would remain close to him and his descendants, upholding the promises he had made to David. More than any other discovery in his amazing life, David had learned that the future, that every battle, and that any real hope, lies in the presence of the Lord God of Israel with him and his descendants. When God speaks, he keeps his word. When God acts, he redeems, delivers, and brings victories. So, David asked God to do what God longs to do: bless his people and keep his promises. Which reminds us that he can do the same with us!
