Good morning.
When we look at the life of David we see that he faced troubles; probably more so than most of us.
The psalms he wrote express the struggles and disappointments he faced, yet in the end, he always turned his focus back to God. The key to his victorious attitude was strong faith in the Lord.
• David was confident in God’s purpose. That’s why he could say, "The Lord will work out his plans for my life— for your faithful love, O Lord , endures forever." (Psalms 138:8 NLT) By keeping our focus on the Lord and His purpose, we can stay strong when we go through troubled waters.
• He relied on the Lord’s power. In times of difficulty, we can trust God to deliver us too—though the outcome may not be what we expect. Remember, our Father will sustain us through the trial, walking with us every step of the way.
• David believed the promises of God. We also need some specific promises from Scripture that will anchor us in times of trouble. The truths of the Bible are our most valuable possession when we are confronted with the storms of life.
God assumes responsibility for accomplishing what concerns us in times of trouble. Our job is to believe that the Lord will fulfill His purpose, and will keep every promise He has made.
Blessings.
Mike and Daphne
