Singing David’s Song of Deliverance

A Phone Tree Bible Study Group ACTion Article


Reading Assignment: 2 Samuel 22

Personal Reflection ACTion Statement:

You know what? The Sesame Street Cast was on to something when they encouraged listeners to, “Sing. Sing a song. Sing out loud. Sing out strong. Sing of good things, not bad. Sing of happy, not sad… Make it simple. To last your whole life long.” I love that.

In 2 Samuel 22, David sang a song to the LORD. It was song of deliverance. It was a song of declaration that celebrated the GOD who had rescued him – a man who was sought after by his enemies. The words that David sang out loud and sang out strong were heartfelt and revealing. We would do well to sing those words for ourselves.


A Final Challenge:

  • Develop a personalized list of Bible study questions to consider from the 2 Samuel 21-24 chapter readings. If you are inclined to do so, feel free to share them with the group.
  • Comment by email or on the blog as to which section of David’s song resonated with you the most.
  • Pen your own song of deliverance. Once it has been completed, do what David (and The Sesame Street Cast) did…SING!
