reflect: Israel’s King David was an old man when he wrote this, reflecting on God’s presence in his life. How would David compare his power and abilities to God’s? Why does David believe that God helped him?

respond: David was a godly leader and a courageous warrior, but even he faced circumstances that felt overwhelming. Where do you need to seek God’s strength for your current struggles? God will show himself to be faithful to all those who sincerely seek him.
