He sent from on high, he took me; he drew me out of many waters. He rescued me from my strong enemy and from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me. They confronted me in the day of my calamity, but the LORD was my support. He brought me out into a broad place; he rescued me, because he delighted in me. Psalm 18:16-19
Here we see multiple actions of God toward one person. The word “me” or “my” occurs 10 times. This is not a narrative of God’s actions toward many but toward just one needy soul; for the individual has always mattered to God. Note the many actions of God—each one personal, attentive, and deliberate. What is the reason given for this unusual care by God? What is the cause and source of this thinking? Is it attraction from without or internally generated within God Himself?
