"David was greatly distressed... But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God." -1 Samuel 30:6
Beloved, this is the most challenging thing to learn in life: strengthening yourself in the Lord. For it can only be brought about through experience. Circumstances in which there is no one to help. No comfort from a friend. No resources to meet the need. No strength left to persevere. It is a place of hopelessness and loneliness. Because the Lord was the God of David, he turned to Him and found the strength of the Lord. Many saints of God have been distressed beyond belief but have found that the Lord is a present help in times of trouble. We may not welcome such trials into our lives, but it is alone that we learn to strengthen ourselves in God. We discover the sufficiency of His grace and peace surpassing our understanding. Strengthen yourself in God today.
In Christ Alone,
Pastor Wight
