I will defend this city and save it, for my sake and for the sake of David my servant. -2 Kings 19:34, NIV
When I heard about the FBI police arrests in Puerto Rico, I felt disappointed. Being back in home country, how can men and women who are supposed to help us and our children to live safer lives are tracketeando behind our backs? Unfortunately, those are the same men and women who believe they’re invincible, that they can oh, so fool the people. They can line their money with pockets and bleak allegiances all they want…
But pride lasts for only a season. (And I refuse to make political statements.)
And yet, Someone greater than us says, “ I will defend you…because I love you.” For who?
His glory. Who couldn’t be better than God (don’t even try it) to showcase His everlasting power to the world? God will save His own city, His own people, so they could know He is near.
For love of David. God will always fulfill His promises with His people. Many things that happened on that time were averted OR mitigated because of David (we’ll talk about that later). Why? From him, the Savior would come and restore Israel –and the world.
Yes, I may still have to run into the councils of human police when necessary, but for now, God is my hope and my defense. He is never corrupt, He will never go corrupt, He will always help me along the way.
