“David Was Greatly Distressed”

 

No kidding.

 

David had turned back a Philistine army, taken on a giant, and lead a people with great integrity.

 

But when things went south, people did what people do.

 

They turned and looked for someone to blame.

 

While David was away……the enemy had attacked and taken hostages.  When David returned—they were devastated to see what had happened.

 

And then this:

 

1 Samuel 30  6 David was greatly distressed because the men were talking of stoning him; each one was bitter in spirit because of his sons and daughters. But David found strength in the LORD his God.

 

God is many things…..and God teaches us many things…..

 

But one thing that He teaches us is COVENANT.

 

When God makes a deal—-HE makes a Covenant.

 

He doesn’t turn His back on you when things don’t go well.

He doesn’t take sides after circumstances.

He doesn’t wait for the popular vote, or the results, or the influence of men to pick a side.

 

He takes your side from the getgo and stands by you for all eternity.

 

Now that……is a good word.

 

In The Name of the Father and the

Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
