“他从高处伸手抓住我，把我从大水中拉上来。”
撒母耳记下 22:17
“"He sent from on high, He took me; He drew me out of many waters.”
2 Samuel 22:17
After experiencing God’s aid in battle against the Philistines (2 Sam. 21:15–22), David likens his rescue to being drawn out of “deep waters” (22:17). David’s very life—and that of his men—was in serious danger from his enemies. God buoyed David as he was drowning in disaster.
While lifeguards are paid to assure the safety of swimmers, God, on the other hand, saved David because of His delightin him (v. 20). My heart leaps for joy when I realize that God doesn’t watch over and protect me because He’s obliged to but because He wants to.
When we feel overcome by the troubles of life, we can rest in the knowledge that God, our Lifeguard, sees our struggle and, because of His delight in us, watches over and protects us.
