Facing Challenges Like King David |
Proverbs 3:5-6 3-3-21, Charles Stanley -- A few thousand years ago, the young shepherd David stepped forward to fight Goliath. [1 Samuel 17:4, 12, 45-51] We often speak of this story as a reminder of the young man’s bravery, even when the odds were against him. But David’s bravery—and success—came from His deep faith in God. (1 Samuel 17:47, 51). And this faith helped him go on to become a successful warrior and king. The Lord gave David many responsibilities during his reign, and he endured numerous trials—some due to his own sin [2 Samuel 11:4; 15]. Through it all, the king repented, was punished [2 Sam 12:16] and returned to God again and again in humble dependence and repeatedly proclaimed his regret and trust in the Lord’s faithfulness. | In seasons of trial or abundance — and we’ll all likely experience both, even simultaneously — we can cling to the Lord Jesus and trust that He is the source of all wisdom, peace, courage, perseverance and abiding joy. THINK ABOUT IT • What do you do when you’re facing a challenge? How does your relationship with God factor into the choices you make? • Does your faith in Christ help you to feel courageous when facing something new, challenging, uncomfortable, or intimidating? Why or why not? Source |
