As I read over Psalm 18:43-50 I am reminded of this commercial for Little Ceasar's pizza. A guy is standing in a full elevator with a bunch of people when he suddenly starts bragging to everyone about how well he ate the night before. He just won't stop talking about how good a deal he got on the pizza he ate last night. David is doing something similar. No. David isn't bragging about pizza. David is bragging about God and all of the things God has done for David. God has given David stewardship over all of the Children of Israel. God has put people under David’s authority whom David had not known. David’s enemies lost any desire to come up against him. God has been a place of refuge and a deliverer from trouble. Now David, like the guy in the Little Ceasar’s commercial won’t stop talking about the things God has done for him to anyone who will listen. Shouldn’t we do the same?
Have you ever noticed when people are first saved how they cannot wait to tell everyone about this great thing that has happened? Before they know anything about what is in the Bible, or have any great grasp of what God asks of us they run off on fire to share this wonderful thing called salvation. But after a while something happens. Either the emotional high goes away or we just get caught up in our lives again, and begin to forget what God’s salvation meant to us when we first believed. This morning I am praying for God to build up those fires again. Let us all be as excited to share God’s love for others as we were they day God first allowed His Holy Spirit to fall on us. Let’s put that guy in the elevator to shame, and show the world what it really means to be excited about God’s love.
