Psalms 31 and 33 are among David’s reflections on how God is looking for servant leaders. David’s training underwent a wilderness season of responding to difficult people. He passed tests by refusing an easy power-over takeover, continuing to be the right person by serving as well as possible, and choosing to trust God.
Reflections from Psalms 31 and 33
- Trust in God’s Timing: David trusted God’s timing rather than seizing control by force (Psalm 31:15).
- Seek Refuge in the Lord: David repeatedly sought refuge in the Lord (Psalm 31:1-2).
- Praise God’s Righteousness: David continually declared the faithfulness of God (Psalm 33:1-5).
- Know God Rules: David reflected on God’s dominion (Psalm 33:6-9).
- Believe God Provides and Protects: David emphasizes that the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear Him, and He delivers them (Psalm 33:18-19).
Like David, we are called to be servant leaders. We trust in God’s wisdom and timing. We acknowledge and are grateful for His presence and His presents.
