God is a refuge for all who will turn to him. King David was on the run with no-one to help so he calls out to God for mercy and grace …. finding it in ‘the shadow of his wings’.  Jesus uses a similar expression when he speaks of his desire for ‘Jerusalem’ to gather together under ‘wings’ in a similar way. This poses a question for us .… are we willing to take refuge under God’s wings?

We further find in this passage that King David’s hope was that one day God’s glory would fill the earth. This is to be accomplished through the spread of the ‘good news’ of what Jesus’ has done by dying on the cross and then coming back to life.

King David promises that he will sing because of God’s great love to him. We can also sing for the same reason which is God’s great love in Jesus Christ, who is the perfect refuge, providing forgiveness forever through grace.
