Trials and stresses of life can be overwhelming, leaving us feeling completely helpless and hopeless, but David had a powerful approach to life's dire straits, especially at the kidnapping of his family.
“...David encouraged himself in the Lord his God” (1 Sam. 30:1-6). David fastened and bound his heart to the Lords heart and became valiant through God. He maintained his trust in God and his resolve was strengthened by God’s constant love for him.
Be encouraged in the One who knows every need and care you will face. He has already brought resolve to them, before you were born He had them worked out. Lift your head today and encourage yourself in the Lord. He has told us of His great love for us – soak it into your spirit today as though it were warm sun on a cold winter’s day!
-The Lord your God is mighty on your behalf. He rejoices over you with EXUBERANT GLADNESS and singing (Zeph 3:17).
-I THINK ABOUT YOU continually, says the Lord your God! I have planned good things for you both today and in your future (Jer. 29:11).
-The Lord greatly delights and TAKES PLEASURE IN YOU, His people (Ps 149:4).
-The Lord our GOD HAS SENT MINISTERING ANGELS to assist us and come to our aid (Heb. 1:14).
-If GOD IS FOR US, who could possibly come against us – for they stand against the Almighty if they stand against us (Rom. 8:31).
Blessed be the name of the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits! (Ps 103)
