2 Samuel 22:36-52 – Working in synchronization with God

In 2 Samuel 22, we see how David started by praising and adoring God, then continued to assert that God fought with and for him because he chose to walk uprightly. In this final segment from verses 36-52, we cannot but see David’s emphasis that it was God who had enabled him to secure all his victories.

Here he re-counted how everything worked out for him. He was empowered to gain victory in all his battles. That was God’s part, but there was also David’s part. He collaborated and acted in sync with God.  Every victory that David had gained was God working through him.

As we reflect on these seventeen verses, we will realize that what happened to David can also be true of us. If we are to be victorious in life, we need to work in partnership with God. As we team up with God, stay confident in Him. We can gain victory in all battles in life.  

In the last six verses of 2 Samuel 22, David ended with where he began. He raised his praise to God again. He affirmed that the victories he had experienced came because God had been the Rock of His life. Like David let us work in sync with God. As we obey His word and keep in step with Him, victory shall be sure!
