Most earnestly he studied the ways of God, expressed by Christ when enshrouded in the pillar of cloud, and given to Moses to be faithfully repeated to all Israel. He called to mind what God had wrought to secure for Himself a people to whom He could entrust sacred and vital truth for future ages. God wrought most wondrously to free more than a million people; and as David considered His pledges and promises to them, knowing they were for all who need them as much as for Israel, he appropriated them to himself, saying, “I will remember the works of the Lord: surely I will remember thy wonders of old. I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doing.”{3BC 1149.4}

Han studerede meget alvorligt Guds veje, udtrykt i Kristus, da han var omhyllet i skystøtten, og blev givet til Moses, for at blive gentaget for hele Israel. Han genkaldte hvad Gud havde gjort, for at sikre Sig et folk, som Han kunne betro hellig og livsvigtig sandhed fremover i tiden. Gud arbejdede på den mest forunderlige måde, for at udfri mere end en million mennesker; og idet David betragtede Hans pagter og løfter til dem, vidende at de gjaldt alle der behøver dem lige så meget som for Israel, brugte han dem på sig selv og sagde: ”Jeg kommer Herrens gerninger i hu, ja kommer dine fordums undere i hu. Jeg tænker på al din gerning og grunder over dine værker.”
