II Samuel 22-23; I Chronicles 18:1-13
II Samuel 22 is nearly identical to Psalm 18, which we read on April 1.
With the merciful you show yourself merciful;
II Samuel 22:26-27 (cf. Psalm 18:25-26)
with the blameless man you show yourself blameless;
with the purified you deal purely,
and with the crooked you make yourself seem tortuous.
God is, of course, exactly Who He is, regardless of what we think. But how we perceive Him says a lot about ourselves. Does He appear to be crooked, unjust, or “tortuous”? Then take a look within.
