F.B. Meyer emphasizes how David, despite his failures and the dire circumstances he faced, found strength and encouragement in the Lord his God. He reflects on David's ability to recall God's past faithfulness and promises, which provided him hope and peace amidst turmoil. Meyer encourages believers to similarly seek refuge in God during their trials, reminding them that even in moments of despair, God remains a present help. He draws parallels to John Knox's faith in facing death, highlighting the importance of anchoring oneself in God's word and past deliverances.
