David's (Psalm 139)

Improved Essays
In Psalm 139, David depicts God as molding his small body together in the haziness of this current mother's womb. God cherished David before he at any point existed.

God composed the individual David was to be, and He conveyed that individual into being as per His foreordained arrangement. In this hymn, David utilized the fascinating illustration of a diary in which God first composed His arrangement and afterward brought that arrangement into fulfillment through His craftsmanship in the womb:

"Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. Also, in Your book they all were composed (v.16)

7
David was molded by his radiant Father's adoration into an exceptional creation.

    Comparing Today's Society in the Chrysalids by John Wyndham Yes, today's society is comparing to the Chrysalids When David was a young boy, he would dream of a city, even though he didn’t know what a city was. He dreamt of carts running with no horses pulling them, shiny fish shaped things. David would dream about the buildings, boats in the habour, even if he didn’t see a sea or a boat before…

    2 Samuel 7 shows God requesting a house from David and asks for David’s future son to build it in exchange for making his future son king: “...I will raise up your offspring after you...and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever” (2 Samuel 7:12-13). The agreement made between David and God, during David’s reign, presents a differentiated aspect compared to Saul’s reign and God’s full endorsement towards David being king. Due to the agreement, there is also a kinetic aspect in this situation because the house that is being built for God plays a role as the bloodline of King David. The promise to David, that there is an heir, creates his dynasty and his future lineage.…

    Although he is nude, he is wearing a pair of boots and a loose hat, which gives him a sense of eroticism. David is standing on the now severed Goliath, apparently an aftermath of the battle. His right-hand clenches Goliath 's sword, in fact, it is the sword he used to cut off the Giants ' head. Because David is standing on the head, it pushes his leg up, and one of the wings is riding up his inner thigh. The wing might be possibly a little too high, creating an overt sexuality on the piece.…

    The sanctity of life begins when a person is in the womb because God created people in His own image and he created life. Jeremiah 1:5 states, “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee, And before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” People abuse the sanctity of life in mass shootings because they are murdering innocent people that God created. Murder is wrong because we should not kill according to the 10 Commandments.…

    He has grown in faith and endurance when his sheep are attacked and protects them by strongly throwing a rock and killing the bear. This experience with little things allowed God to trust him with a giant later in his life and he was also able to defeat the mighty giant with the Lords help. When David becomes famous he refused to enjoy himself, but gives glory to God. He later is placed in the palace with the abusive and angry King.…

    It was not in the glory of his reign, even though he had his portion of glory. However, his godliness was in his eagerness to accept the will of God and to humble his heart in repentance when he sinned. In addition, the Lord makes four covenants with David. These covenants that are established are a clear picture of a father-son relationship; a relationship that closely resembles what we have with…

    Psalm 68 Analysis

    • 710 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Psalm 68 is an amazing poem written by David that gives insight into the character and qualities of God as sovereign king of both Israel and the world. What is more, the psalm bounces back and forth from speaking to God; using personal pronouns such as ‘you,’ and at the same time David is telling the reader about God. Both of these methods lend well for worship. In addition, David was a king, so his perspective of God as king and the role of the king for his people threads all the way through the entire psalm. Psalm 68 lists specific qualities of God as king, shows his primary activities on behalf of his people and parallels to how King Jesus lived while on earth.…

    In the text David states, “He would be reading his newspaper, hidden from me behind his newspaper, so that, desperate to conquer his attention, I sometimes so annoyed him that our duel ended with me being carried from the room in tears” (Baldwin, 1956, pg. 91). In other words, David as a kid needed attention and his father was not there to provide him with the proper love and affection. As a result, this has caused David to feel inadequate and began a life of wanting to feel accepted. Moreover, his father lack of acknowledgement for him as a kid has caused him to live a life trying to please him and of secrecy. This is evident if one examines David’s response to his father’s letter.…
