The idealist hopes and prays for victory through negotiation. Certainly, peace through words is preferred, but Ps.18 demonstrates David's victory through battle. David achieved peace, security and prosperity for Israel, but at a cost. As Dr. John continues to teach through Psalm 18, we are directed to the coming victory of Jesus Christ. While David's won peace was partial, the King of Kings will return and achieve victory and peace over all creation.Prayers of King David: Part of the appeal of the Psalms is that they speak to our current life situations with clarity and hope. In this five-message series, Dr. John points to the prayers of David from Psalms 13-17. Whether we are enduring difficult times, feel surrounded by ungodliness, are falsely accused or struggle to worship well, these Psalms are our prayers.
