“The Lord liveth, and blessed be my rock, and exalted be the
God of the rock of my salvation… Therefore I will give thanks unto thee … and I
will sing praises unto thy name…” (2 Samuel 22:47 & 50)
This is David speaking in all his eloquence. He is actually expressing
thanks for winning a battle – a life and death situation. Most of the time, our
situation is not that defining. We do have emergency life and death situations
in our lives but probably not to the degree that David did. Nevertheless, we
face crisis, turning points daily.
If you think about it forgetting to say prayer, read scriptures,
give thanks are crisis. We get lax in our gratitude, in our worship and the
next thing we know we aren’t even thinking about the Lord at all. Oh, we still
believe in him, but we don’t realize that we are sliding away. I’m not here to
give guilt trips. The only reason one should say prayer, read scriptures or
give thanks is because they want to, and yet not doing so is a crisis.
