Day 187..."Facing the Giants...Jesus reinstates Peter"
David's people continue to prevail as another giant of Gath was struck down by Jonathon. The giant is so big he has six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot as well. David's song of deliverance in II Samuel 22 is much like a Psalm. The writing tells a story of God's faithfulness over various trials. An example is in 22:32-33...“For who is God, but the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God? This God is my strong refuge." I am not sure I fully understand Ecclesiastes 8:11 but it makes me think about the vanity theme of Ecclesiastes...and there is a time for everything under Heaven..."Again I saw that under the sun the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the intelligent, nor favor to those with knowledge, but time and chance happen to them all." Jesus reinstates Peter three times after Peter denies Jesus three time. Only the Lord could have that much grace to balance the scales of denial with grace!
