"In my distress I called upon the LORD, to my God I cried for help. From His temple He heard my voice, and my cry to Him reached His ears." (Ps 18:6)
In response to David's plea, God shook heaven and earth to rescue him (v 7-15).
"He brought me out into a broad place; He rescued me, because He delighted in me" (v 19).
God didn't have to rescue David, but He chose to, because He delighted in David. The Creator of the universe delighted in a shepherd boy-king!
Does God delight in me? Am I worthy to be rescued from my enemies? Have I scored enough brownie points with the Creator that He would deliver me from my distress?
No.
I am not worthy. There is nothing good in me. Nothing good enough to merit His deliverance.
And He chose to rescue me.
He sent His Son to die on the cross for my sins.
He sent people into my life to show me the way of salvation.
He is providing for and protecting me through this life.
He is preparing an eternal place for me in His presence.
Not because I'm good.
But because He delights in me!
