DAVID'S GRATITUDE TO GODLesson for August 132 Samuel 22:40-51

O ur eri ti re Scr ip ture se t t ing is 2 Samu el8 : l - 1 5 ; 2 2 : l -5 1 . As Ch r is t ia n s we a r e t oga ther sp i r i tua l l essons f rom 2 Samuel 8,s ince ' ?he weapons of o ur w ar fare a r e notcarnal ." Som e of the things done at thecommand of David in chapter 8 seem to usvery cruel and unlike the spir i t of the NewTes tament ; therefore they are not to be fo l -lowed by us literally.1. Trium ph Results From Conflict

N o one needs think himself able to t r ium phin the Christ ian l i fe who is unwil l ing to meett lie enemy. D,~ vidh a d t o w i t h s t a ~ ~ dhe Phil is-t ines, the Moabites, f ight Hadadezer, and "re-cover his border at the r iver Euphrates." ch.8 :1-3 . La te r he had to wi ths tand the uni tedf o r c e s ' o i Sy r i a wi th Ha d a d e z e r , s o t h a t"the Syrians became servants to David, andbrought gifts." v. 6.Jn this brief record two things are out-standing. The f i r s t i s tha t David rccoveredter r i tory w hich , though promised to l s ra c lby God, had been lost through wealcness-te r r i tory which reached to the EuphatesRiver. T he I lext is that David's enemies be-came his servants and brought gif ts . T o u sthis means that we ought not to be drivcnljack froni tvl iat belongs to us as the chi ldrenof God. Go d had prom ised Is ra el aT1 tlieland, " f rom the Grea t Sea to the RiverEuph rates." Dxvid regained i t , but not withouthard f ight ing . W e have se t ourse lves to re -cov er for the cl;urch "the faith which wa s oncedelivered unto the saints." L et us not thinkwe are going to gain our object ive by si t t ing"at ease in Zion." If we possess the land wcwill have to f ight various spir i tual foes andaccus tom ourse lves to var ious methods ofthe enemy, being determined that by the helpof God we will preva.il.Th e enemies mus t be subdued as the Syr ians

we re a l so , so tha t they become our servants.That means tha t "s in sha l l not have doni in io~iover you." Si i l must be our sub ject , and notour master . Inste ad of bringing us into cap-t ivi ty, the world, the f lesh, and the devil areto bring us gif ts . W ha t blessing i t is , whenwe have got ten v ic tory over some grea t enemyill our lives, to feel the sense of spiritualmas tery through our Lord Jesus Chr i s t andreal ize that the very things that once had usbound now cont r ibute to our advancement be-cause , through our Lord Jesus , we took thefield of bat tle saying , "Sin shall not reign.""Now being made f ree f rom s in , and becomeservant s to God, ye have your f ru i t untoholiness, and the end ev erlast ing l ife." Ro m.6 :22.

2. Triumph Brings RestThe resul ts of David's victories he dedicatedt o t h e Lo r d . ch . 8:11. "And David gat him aname when he returned from smit ing theSyrians." v. 13. Th ese two statements go welltogether in the Christ ian confl ict . David gaveGod the glory for his victories. H e "diddedicate unto the Lord" the spoils of bat t le.Had God not becn wi th David , David couldnot have had such success. H e realized thisand gave honor to whom honor belonged.Victories ar e of sho rt durat ion wh ere peoplethink that "by their ow n power o r holiness"

they have overcome. I t i s . God, who f ight sfor us, by whom we gain victory.I t is God also who gives a Christ ian "aname" that is held in honor. Tho se whoknew John Fletcher test i f ied that he was themost sa in t ly man they ever met . W ho m adehim such ? God. W ha t was h i s grea tness?It was greatness of character . David hasgained a last ing name a s "a man after Go d'sown hear t. " W ho made h im th i s? God. H owdid David retain this ? By dedicat ing himselfto God. Cont ras t Hero d, the wicked ru le rwho took glory to himself when the peoplepraised him. H e was eaten of worm s.Ou t of David's t r i ump hs 'came his gloriousreign "over al l Israel ," a beautiful reign inwhich "David exec uted judgment and just iceunto all his people." v. 15. H er e is an ev i-dence of grea tness . H e re igned w i thout par -t i a l ity , s l~ ow in ga eaut ifu l sp i r i t and a i r i sdomfrom above. James 3:17. God would haveal l of us possess such a spir i t . 1 Tim . 5 :21.

3. A Testimony of VictoryI n chapter 22 :40-51 we f ind David re jo ic in~ill his victories. H e begins with g iving Godglory . "Fu r tho c has1 girded me with stren gthto ba t t l e : them tha t rose up aga ins t me has tthou subdued under me." H O W in contrastwere his enemies. "Theylooked, but there was none

to save." v. 42. Th ey hadno l iving God to f ight intheir behalf . W he n theybecome conscious of thef a l i n g o f t he ir o wnstrength, they looked foroutside support but i t wasnot. W ha t disapPointmel!tscome to the poor sinnerwho has 110 suppor t o therthan himself on which tolean.W e s e e a n o th e r l es so nalso, besides D avid's ab i l i tyto defeat his al ien foes." T l ~ o u also hast del ivered

nie f rom the s t r iv ings ofmy people." v. 44'. In thcChr i s t ian l if e there a r e notonly outward enemies, therear e a t , t imes enemies wi th-i ll . Jesus was grieved tothe depths a t be ing be t ray-ed by Judas. T h e propheticPsa lm says, "For i t w a snot an enemy that re-.proached m e; then I couldhave borne i t : ne i ther wasi t he that hated me thatdid magnify himself againstm e: then I would havehid myself from him: buti t was thou, a man mine

equal , my companion and my famil iar iPsa. 55:12, 13, R. V. May this teachkeep our eyes on the Lord even thoughbetrayed by those whom we have trustloved. Th e st ing may be deep. Th e the st ing the greater the victory 1vhe11comes. By victory we do not mean over him who disappointed us; we meward v ic tory in our own soul s .The remainder of our lesson 15 a recvictories. David is "on the moun taluas we say. I t is easy then to shout. however, back up a l i t t le in our lesson4. The Way to Victory

"And David spake unto the Lord theof this song." v. 1. Da vid is rejoicingrecounts al l the way the Lord has led hiLord is his rock, and his fortress, adel iverer. v. 2. T h e Lord is his shiehorn (or stren gth) of salvat ion, histower, his refuge, his savior . v. 3 . Hlearned that God wil l save him froenemies, therefore he wil l cal l upon H isv. 4. Bu t wait. I t was not always so gl"When the waves of death compassthe f loods of ungodly men made me av. 5. I t was d i f fe rent , then . "The sor rhel l compassed me.about ." v. 6. Did yohear people say, "I feel like I was in I t is extravaganc e of expression , but speaks how wretched men can feel. God's chi ldren have their touches ofexperiences . If you ar e one, be encoufor Da vid had such t imes also. But never lost s ight of God as some do. "distress I cal led upon the Lord." v. 7.May we t rus t , whatever the t es t , anthe L ord be the tower of o ur salvat ion.

THE H.OLY SPIRIT FALLS ON ABAPTIST CONGREGATIONALABAMA CITY, ALA.-Another Beptist

church and its Pastor have received the HolyGhost. I was privileged to worship with thescgood people in Alabama City on June 25, andit thrilled my heart to see what the Lord haddone for them. Th e following is an account of

their experience, an given by the Pastor, JackHenderson:"I was the founder of this church and pastorfor ten years. It seemed that we were doingall right, but we just couldn't get the kind ofblessing that other folk were getting where thefull cospel was preached. We all believed in aclean life, free from sin. We believed that aperson couldn 't indulge in worldly pleasures andbe a Christian. And we did not believe in thedoc trin e of 'eternal security.'"In Nov ember 194 9 God began talking tome. I felt at first that God wanted me to goout and evangelize, so I bought o tent andstarted a meeting in a little town nearby. TheLord began to bless in a mighty way and thepower began to fall, but no one seemed to getcomplete deliverance until one night, whilepraying a t the a l tar , God led me to go andpray for a little girl who wos sick. God beganto heal in the services."After moving from the ten t back into thechurch there came a mighty outpouring of theHoly Spirit. Sick were being healed and we weremad e believers in the mighty power of Go d.'T he Holy Ghost fe ll upon 35 and we began tospeak in other tongues according to Acts 2:4.God is still blessing in a mighty way."Thi s church wae' formerly known as T h eFriendship Baptist Church. On June 25 I se tit in o rder as an Assembly of G od church with42 members. I t is now called Th e Glad Tid -ings Tabernacle. I t was a real inspiration t oworship with these people who have recentlyreceived t he Holy Ghost. They are reallyPentecostal.-T. H. Spence , Alabam a DistrictSuperintendent.
