Andre Crouch, great contemporary Gospel singer, popularized a song with this title and message… “THROUGH IT ALL – THROUGH IT ALL! I learned to trust in Jesus – I learned to trust in God!”
This morning in my Bible reading during my time of “Coffee with the Lord” I read the lyrics of an even greater song, written by King David, with a message much like that of Andre Crouch’s song. It’s found in 2 Samuel 22 (cp. Psalm 18) in your Bible. I’m going to just give you a taste of it in this post… But believe me, the entire song – the entire chapter in your Bible – is worthy of reading, reflection, and response! Here’s the “taste” of it I was talking about…2 Samuel 22 (ESV)
“David spoke to the Lord the words of this song on the day when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul…
He said, “The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge, my Savior… I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies!
“In my distress I called upon the Lord; to my God I called… He heard my voice, and my cry came to His ears.
“He sent from on high, He took me; He drew me out of many waters. He rescued me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me. They confronted me in the day of my calamity, but the Lord was my support. He brought me out into a broad place; He rescued me, because He delighted in me.
“This God—His way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; He is a shield for all those who take refuge in him! For who is God, but the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God? This God is my strong refuge, He has made my way blameless! He made my feet like the feet of a deer and set me secure on the heights. Your gentleness has made me great. You gave a wide place for my steps under me, and my feet did not slip! You equipped me with strength for the battle!
“The Lord lives, and blessed be my rock, and exalted be my God, the rock of my salvation! … For this I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations, and sing praises to your name! (From 2 Samuel 22 – A song of David)
And from Andre Crouch (his testimony and song)…“THROUGH IT ALL – THROUGH IT ALL! I learned to trust in Jesus – I learned to trust in God!”
