Today I popped in and spent some time with Rachel and my granddaughter, Ella. Before I left I read Psalm 3 to Rachel. There is David running for his life from Absalom. He is in a seemingly hopeless situation, highly vulnerable, faced by vastly superior numbers. Many have already written him off as a has-been, mocking the notion that God would rescue him.
In the midst of all this David still depends on God as his shield and the one to whom he looks for his exaltation. But as striking as all of these expressions of this severely tested faith undoubtedly are, I was struck by David’s last words in this psalm: “May your blessing be on your people.” Even in the midst of this chaos and despite his past failures, David has the heart of a great, God-honouring king. What he longs for above all else is that God bless his people.
