LIFE OF DAVID PART #6
DAVID CONQUERS
PSALM 18

David – our focus these past weeks! Why? Because he’s so much like all of
us…
Loves God
Falls…
Sins…
Discouraged…
Encouraged…
Righteous…
Conquers…
Worships God…
In fact, David and Psalms (1/2 he wrote) mirror nearly all our lives the ups
and downs!
Let’s do a quick review:
1. 1 Sam. 17 – He stands alone for God (Israel covering behind him) facing
God’s enemies (Goliath + co.). Why?
UNCHANGING CONCERN FOR GOD’S HONOR!
Now Psalms mirror David’s life.
2. 1 Sam. 19:11-18 > Psalm 59
We see David depending on God (when assassins come/Saul). Why?
UNSHAKEABLE TRUST IN GOD’S PROTECTION
3. 1 Sam. 21:10-12 > Psalm 56
We see David confident (Ps. 56:9)! Why!

“THIS I KNOW THAT GOD IS FOR ME”
DISTINCT IMPRESSION GOD IS ON HIS SIDE!
4. 1 Sam. 21:13-15 > Ps. 34
We see David magnifying God.
Why?
UNWAVERING AWARENESS
GOD WAS WATCHING
5. 1 Sam. 22:1-2 > Ps. 142
We see Daavid calling on God. Why?
UNFAILING HOPE
GOD WAS LISTENING AND HEARING
6. 1 Sam. 23:133-14 > Ps. 63
We see David seeking God. Why?
ABUNDANT SATISFACTION
GOD REFRESHED HIM
7. 1 Sam. 23:19-25 > Ps. 54
We see David finding refuge in God. Why?
CONSTANTLY SETTING GOD BEFORE HIMSELF
V. 30
8. 1 Sam. 24:16-22 > Ps. 57
We see David rising above discouragement. Why?
APPLYING HIS GREAT DISCOVERIES ABOUT GOD
Learned Ps. 142
9. 2 Sam. 5:17-25 – 2 Sam. 22 > Ps. 18
We find David triumphing over all enemies! Why?
SEEING LIFE FROM GOD’S PERSPECTIVE
And what might that be?

v. 7-15 God is awesome
v. 16-24 It is God who rescues
v. 25-29 God is just
v. 30-36 God reveals Himself

v. 37-45 God conquers enemies
v. 46-50 God is to be praised
Let’s do something this week:
1) Be concerned for God’s honor – stand alone
2) Trust God’s protection – don’t fear
3) Realize God is on your side – you are valuable
4) Remember God’s watching – fear God
5) Expect God to hear – pray
6) Be satisfied in God’s refreshment – seek Him
7) Set God first – deny self
8) Apply God’s great truth – live it
What’s that? Seeing life through God’s eyes!
