At last, David becomes the king of all Israel, then the Lord gives him two great military victories over the Philistines. Then, after a botched attemp, David moves the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem. He dances with all his might before the Lord.
When you feel that you are surrounded by people who gang up against you and slander you, then this is the psalm for you. My thanks to Josh and Sarah Phillips with Pioneer Bible Translators for reading this psalm.
Chapter 12 marks the beginning of the practical part of Paul’s letter to the Roman Christians. This part packs a big punch, and the topic sentences for this section (vs. 1-2) are must-memorize verses. If everything that Paul said before now is true, then THIS is the logical and appropriate response of how we are to live. This is how ought to respond to God's wonderful kindness to us. And this is the secret to transformed lives and learning to discern God's will.
