When the cities were closed to David and offered no hope; the gates of Heaven opened to His cry for help, even the very throne room of God.
2 Samuel 22:7 In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.
This is the kind of blessing all those who know the Lord enjoy. It’s the assurance that Almighty God hears and cares. That humbles me and boosts my faith.
In the text below, the good Lord is all David declares Him to be and more.
2 Samuel 22:3 The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.
God truly is all we need. Sing it if you know it.
“I need Thee every hour, — Most gracious Lord. — No tender voice like thine,
Can peace afford. — I need Thee, oh I need Thee. — Every hour I need Thee. — Oh, bless me now, my Savior, — I come to Thee.” Annie S. Hawks; Robert Lowry, Refrain
