In Psalms 3 David shares 7 characteristics of His God:
1. God is a shield,
2. God is my Glory
3. God is the Lifter up of my head
4. God is a Listener
5. God is a Calmer of my Spirit
6. God is our Protector
#7: Finally David declares that God is my Savior.
a. He knew that God would eventually deliver him from this crises and he would be restored as King of Israel. (That did happen and his son Absalom died in battle.) By the way when David's son died he mourned for many days. He still loved his son dearly. That is Godly love.
The word for Salvation is "VICTORY". This was David's battle cry, "Salvation (or Victory) belongs to the Lord. David does not give glory to his men or to his skills or power as a king - BUT VICTORY BELONGS TO THE LORD!!! God was the deliverer!
b. Salvation belongs to the Lord. Eternal Life in Christ, because of Jesus dying on the Cross for our sins and then rising form the dead 3 days later. He is a Risen Savior! Again, we don't get the credit or glory. We did NOTHING, but trust in Jesus and receive His free gift of eternal life. If you haven't done that right now is a great time to do it.
You may know the words to the song at the top of the page. Take time to read it and even sing it if you know it. If you don't look it up on YouTube and sing along.
