2 Samuel 23:1-7

David’s final words in today’s text look backward at what Yahweh has been building from his first promise in Genesis of the one who would come to crush the serpent’s head, and anticipates the future fulfillment in Christ of God’s everlasting covenant with his people.  May we treasure the oracle of God, his revealed word to us, understanding that God’s anointed ruler brings human flourishing not only in David’s time but even more under the rule and reign of King Jesus.  Even now he is at work restraining evil to a certain degree, while promising judgment to come upon those who oppose him.  Thanks be to God that for those who are in Christ, our judgment has already been poured out upon Jesus at the cross so we need not fear condemnation.
