David was in a difficult position because the troops talked about stoning him, for they were all very bitter over ‹the loss of› their sons and daughters. But David found strength in the LORD his God.
1 Samuel 30:6 (HCSB)
Ever found yourself in a difficult situation? Sure you have! We all have. What do you do? Run in circles, scream and shout? Suck you thumb? Go into depression? Withdraw? Come out fighting? Blame someone else? Make excuses?
What do you do? David found himself in a tight spot. He had led these men in many battles, to many victories, but now they were turning against him. They were sick because of their loss. David had lost too! But David turned to the Lord for help, and the Lord strengthened him.
He sought the Lord’s guidance, and the Lord told him what to do. David and his men pursued the Amalekites, caught them, destroyed them, and got their families and herds back. David was very grateful, as indeed he should have been.
We all find ourselves between a rock and a hard place occasionally. If we will look to the Lord for help He will strengthen us and guide us. we will find, like David, that our God is more than sufficient.
