Read through the Bible in 2 Years: 2 Samuel 22

David trusts in God because he knows his character. David knows that God is good so he puts his trust in Him. David knows that God sees him and cares about him so he puts his faith in Him. I’m reminded of another psalm David had written.

And those who know your name
put their trust in you,
for you, O LORD, have not forsaken
those who seek you.

Psalm 9:10 ESV

The more You know God, the more you will trust Him because you will recognize His everlasting goodness and power. This is why I love reading The Knowledge of the Holy by A.W. Tozer so much. I even wrote an ebook from my own thoughts on the topic.

As your trust in God grows, then you will seek Him and call upon Him, which reminds me of another Psalm of David. Psalm 34:4, “I sought the LORD, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears.”

As you call upon Him, He will answer you, and You will praise His Name.

For this I will praise you, O LORD, among the nations, and sing praises to your name. Great salvation he brings to his king, and shows steadfast love to his anointed, to David and his offspring forever.

2 Samuel 22:50-51 ESV

My soul makes its boast in the LORD; let the humble hear and be glad. Oh, magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together!

Psalm 34:2-3 ESV

Heavenly Father, thank you for your goodness and mercy towards me. You are the almighty God, the steadfast rock, the refuge for those who seek you. Help me to trust in You, fully and daily. May I not trust in horses and chariots and human wisdom, but in Christ my solid rock on whom I stand. He is the eternal God and King of kings. It is in His holy name that I pray. Amen.
