LET US SEARCH FOR HIDDEN PEARLS: July 18-24, 2022, 2 Samuel 22.

Let's look for hidden pearls (10 mins.)

2Sa 22:36. How did Jehovah's humility make David great? (w12 11/15 17 ¶7)

It made David great because Jehovah's humanity had given him the courage and strength to do something in Israel and David, being humble, had let Jehovah use him to be of help in Israel in the same way when we receive a privilege of Jehovah in his organization we become great when we let Jehovah use us and we are great because we are of help both to the congregation and to our brothers.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

This quality of Jehovah made a deep impression on David. That is why he sang to her: "You will give me your shield of salvation, and your humility is what makes me great." The psalmist considered that whatever greatness he had in Israel was due to God being humble, condescending or condescending⁠ to pay attention to him. And our case is no different. After all, what quality, capacity or privilege do we have that we have not received from Jehovah? So why is it "great" who behaves like "one of the minors"? In part, because he becomes a more valuable servant of Jehovah. Let's reflect on this idea.

David considered that whatever greatness he had in Israel was because God was humble or deigned to pay attention to him. Likewise, every quality, capacity or privilege that we have is thanks to Jehovah, humility makes us valuable servants for him.

If David had not been chosen by Jehovah as the future king and then installed as such, we would never know of his existence. The psalmist considered that whatever greatness he had in Israel was due to the fact that God was humble, since he condescended or deigned to pay attention to him. So Jehovah's humility in choosing him as his representative on earth made his greatness as king of Israel known.

And our case is no different. After all, what quality, capacity or privilege do we have that we have not received from Jehovah? Then, why is someone who behaves like "one of the least" "great"? In part, because he becomes a Jehovah's most valuable servant. Any privilege we have is thanks to Jehovah's humility in choosing us to carry it out.

What spiritual gems have you found about Jehovah, the ministry, and other topics in this week's Bible reading?

We see that David composed the song to Jehovah and we see the faith he had in Jehovah and we also see that this faith was based on evidence of how Jehovah had delivered his people through time, what it teaches us is that if we also want to have a strong faith we must have a study of the Bible and meditate on the acts of Jehovah for his people.

2 Samuel 22:8-15. David apparently uses a tremendous storm to represent the effect of God's intervention on his behalf to deliver him from his enemies.

2 Samuel 22:17. We may feel drowned in the difficulties of life, but this reminds us that Jehovah is willing to give us a hand from above, to grab us and pull us out of the deep waters of despair and anguish, Jehovah will always come to our aid. bailing out.

2 Samuel 22:23. It speaks of Jehovah's judicial decisions and we can apply this when a relative is expelled, it is a judicial decision that has been made by Jehovah, so we must remain loyal to God and to the congregation because this may serve as a lesson to the wrongdoer and repent and return to the congregation.

2 Samuel 22:24,25. David knew Jehovah very well. He had seen him as his Savior, but he also knew that he demanded righteousness from his servants.

2 Samuel 22:25. David was aware that Jehovah was aware of everything he had done, including hidden things, and what he teaches us is that we cannot hide anything from Jehovah's sight and that he will bring to justice, as Ecclesiastes says, everything hidden if it is good or bad.

2 Samuel 22:26. It says that in order for Jehovah to be loyal to us we must also be loyal in the case of the elders we show that we are loyal when we appreciate the spiritual food when we appreciate the spiritual food that Jehovah provides through the faithful and discreet slave and as Jehovah's Witnesses we show that we are loyal when we do not mix their teachings with the teachings of false religion, beliefs or festivities.

2 Samuel 22:26. David knew that, even if men failed him, his heavenly Father would never do it.

2 Samuel 22:28. The life that David had fleeing on several occasions, either out of fear of Saul, Absalom and others, was a demonstration of trust in Jehovah, but also of seeing how the arrogant had to pay dearly for their way of acting against Jehovah's anointed.
