When God reaches the end of His merciful forbearance, He breaks out like a flood against His enemies. David sought the Lord, obeyed His will, and gave Him glory for the earthly victory He secured against the Philistines. David’s greater Son perfectly sought, obeyed, and glorified His Father by waging war against our ultimate enemies, sin and death. On the cross He secured eternal victory for every former-enemy-made-friend who flees to Him for grace.
