“Therefore the LORD has recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in His eyes. With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful; with a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless; with the pure You will show Yourself pure; and with the devious You will show Yourself shrewd.”

2 Samuel 22:25–27, NKJV

In David’s song to the Lord, as he celebrates God’s providence and protection from King Saul, we hear the great attributes of God and how God seeks to purify us and calls us to live in purity. The blessing of our Lord is that as we walk with our eyes more focused on Him and seek purity in our living our Lord releases us from the burden of our past sins. The mercy of God abounds for those who seek after His grace. It’s not necessarily our actions that bring about change, but the cry of the heart of His chosen. David’s heart continually sought after God and, though he failed in his actions, he continually sought to please God and God recognized and rewarded him as he is called a man after God’s own heart. We are called to have hearts that seek after God’s own heart and not to be concerned with those with less pure intentions because God knows, and He will be the one who will bring judgment. It is in His light that we shine out brightly and all darkness is removed. Seek after God’s heart and He will replace ours. Then we will know His peace.

Let us pray. I thank you, my heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, your dear Son, that you have kept me this night from all harm and danger, and I ask you to protect me this day also from sin and every evil, that in all I do today, I may please you. For into your hands, I commend myself, my body and soul, and all that is mine. Let your holy angel watch over me, that the wicked foe have no power over me. Amen.
