David's Love

Now he's wrapped himself
in a trenchcoat of black-cloud darkness.
But his cloud-brightness bursts through,
spraying hailstones and fireballs.  Psalm 18 (The Message)

Warfare, battle, conquest.  That's what this Psalm is all about.  Yet notice verse one.

I love You fervently and devotedly, O Lord, my Strength.  Psalm 18:1 (AMP)

Not only that.  Check out the ending.

and He shows mercy and steadfast love to His anointed, to David and his offspring forever.  Psalm 18:50.

Sandwiched between the first and last verses of a love story is this raw and powerful war story.  That's how David worshiped God.
Is it a love song?  Or is it a war anthem?
Think about it.

By Grace,
