In today's story, David shows that he was more concerned with God's reputation than his own safety. May we all face our imposing enemies with more faith in the unseen God than in the very present enemy!
As we look forward to hearing about David's reign as king, it is appropriate that we hear this psalm telling of his aspirations.
It is better to take what we are given, rather than what we have earned! This is a big problem for some. My Dad's cherished integrity was one of his biggest blocks to him humbly coming to God and receiving the gift of eternal life. I don't think he ever understood how God would not be so impressed by his supposed integrity. The spiritual reality expressed starting at the beginning of this 6th chapter is a key to place along with a second key that will come in the next chapter.
