2 Samuel 22:33 - David's Psalm Of Thanksgiving.

God is my Strength.

"The God who girdeth me with strength" ( Psalms 18:32 ). Physical strength is derived from God. Much more is spiritual. It is obtained through faith. And every believer may say, "His strength is mine." Thereby:

1 . I live— live unto God, "soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world" ( Titus 2:12 ; Hebrews 2:4 ; Galatians 2:20 ).

2 . I stand —stand fast in temptation, attack, danger ( Romans 14:4 ; 2 Corinthians 1:24 ; Philippians 4:1 ).

3 . I walk— walk forward, in the way of the Lord, surely, swiftly ( 2 Samuel 22:34 ), perseveringly ( 2 Corinthians 5:7 ; Isaiah 40:31 ).

4 . I labour— labour with and for God, zealously, patiently, and not in vain ( Isaiah 26:12 ; 1 Corinthians 15:58 ).

5 . I endure —endure "hardness," afflictions, reproaches, yea, all things, supported and "strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inward man" ( 2 Timothy 2:3 ; Hebrews 11:27 ; Psalms 138:3 ).

6 . I fight— fight "the good fight of faith," against his enemies, courageously and effectually ( 2 Samuel 22:35 ).

7 . I overcome— overcome in life and death ( 1 Corinthians 15:57 ).—D.
