He does not pretend the threats are imaginary. They are real, painful, and dangerous. Yet David turns from the size of his enemies to the greatness of God. The Lord is his shield, his glory, and the One who lifts his head.This sermon calls believers to trust the Lord in the midst of chaos. God is present, God hears, God sustains, and God saves.
