When problems come, remember the Lord

"But David found strength in the Lord his God"                 1 Samuel 30:6    CSB 

When we are suffering loss, grief can easily turn to anger after a time (1 Samuel 30:4-6). One of the stages of grief is anger. This may be displayed when the mind cannot work out or come to terms with what has happened - a loss. David and his men returned to Ziklag following a battle to find their wives and children had been taken and the place, destroyed. They were understandably distraught and this led to them blaming and threatening to stone David for this incident. David remembered his past blessings and victories; how God had delivered him from bears, lions, Goliath and Saul. He knew where to turn when trouble came along. Who do you turn to at such times?

Think back on the many blessings you have received from God. Also, think back on how God turned up at that time when you were going under; that time when you thought it was all over. You may have been rescued from death or perhaps, it was a dangerous situation. You may have been on the verge of bankruptcy or a similar situation. Whatever it was, God may have turned up for you.

As we remember those times, we learn to strengthen ourselves in the Lord and this is how David coped that day in Ziklag. You may be going through a difficult time at the moment. Remember your past victories. If you don't know Jesus as your Lord, then turn to Him now so

that He can help you. You will then have memories you can turn to in the future. Remember, problems may come but none of them is too great for Jesus to handle. 

If you don't know Him and want to, why not say this prayer with me:

Lord Jesus, I ask You to come into my life right now. Forgive me for every sin that I have committed; fill me with Your Holy Spirit and, be my Lord and Saviour from this day.

I ask in Jesus' name. Amen.

If you said this prayer, you are now born again. Get yourself a bible; read a daily commentary such as this, find a church and then walk with Jesus for the rest of your life. You will never regret it.
