David wants to do something for God, but it doesn’t compare to what God wants to do for David.

David had a good idea, but he executed it badly, and the results were tragic.  It is an important lesson for us all.

Once upon a time, Jerusalem was known as the city of the Jebusites.  David made it the capital of Israel, and the city of the King.

Sin has consequences; it cannot be ignored.  While David was off preparing for war, an ancient enemy raided Ziklag, took plunder, and carried off all the people.  This enemy should have been dealt with long ago.

David and his men find themselves in enemy territory, but still do God’s work.  It’s a good analogy for Christians in a hostile world.

Actually, in these three chapters, there are three opportunities for revenge, but none is taken.  Trust God to make things right.

David suddenly finds himself on his own.  He makes a couple of hard-learned lessons on his way to becoming a strong man of God.

in Ps 59, we will see an initial response of fear, followed by prayer, followed by victorious praise.  First we’re going to look at the setting, and then at the Psalm.
