“I will not die but live, and will proclaim what the LORD has done”. Psalm 118:17 (New International Version)
David was not saying he would never die. He was making a proclamation that his present circumstances would not result in his death. He held on to the promise of God for a long and satisfying life! (Psalm 91:16)
David did finally die, but look at how the Bible describes it.
He died at a good old age, having enjoyed long life, wealth and honor. His son Solomon succeeded him as king. 1 Chronicles 29:28 (New International Version)
If you are facing illness or threat, do what David did. Start proclaiming you will live!
