As I continue my devotion on the book of Samuel, I am really encouraged by the life of David. He was a courageous warrior who fought numerous battles and was forced to live on the run as the jealous King Saul was in pursuit of him. What an intense and traumatic life he had but he never gave up on God. He constantly seek the Lord and trusted in His strength and guidance. He won difficult battles and God protected him from the hands of Saul. David was never resentful against Saul nor did he blamed God for what he had to go through. Instead he love Saul and spared his life even when he had the opportunity to kill him. Eventually Saul killed himself and David became the king of Judah. What a wonderful testimony of great faith, courage and perseverance!
If you are going through difficult "battles" in life whether at your work place, your family situations, health or personal relationships etc, don't be discouraged, the Lord is with you just as He was with David. When we constantly seek our Lord and go to Him for strength and comfort, he will deliver us and help us win victorious "battles" in dire strait situations. Sometimes it takes a bit of patience but the Lord will not disappoint. Difficult situations in our lives helps us built a strong faith and character.
As we enter this new week I pray that you will find strength and wisdom in God to face life situations. God bless you!
