Pastor Brad Morgan of New Life Beginnings Church in Pattison, TX begins speaking from 1 Samuel 30, about the great recovery David experienced in his life. David had been seeking the promise that God had for him for 13 years from the age of 17. In Samuel 30 it says, "Now it happened, when David and his men came to Ziklag, on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the South and Ziklag, attacked Ziklag and burned it with fire". Ziklag means winding road. Sometimes God takes us on a winding road. The scripture continues saying, "but God was with him."
Pastor Brad shares about how people's lives get changed in the third day. He recounts several scriptural instances of this. Both judgment and reward can come on the third day.
1 Samual 1:2 continues, "and had taken captive the women and those who were there, from small to great; they did not kill anyone, but carried them away and went their way. So David and his men came to the city, and there it was, burned with fire; and their wives, their sons, and their daughters had been taken captive. Then David and the people who were with him lifted up their voices and wept, until they had no more power to weep."
David goes through grief and betrayal, and ultimately strenghthened himself through the Lord his God. David then went to Abiathar the priest, a spiritual leader for guidance. David was careful to ask God for guidance. God answered, “Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all.”
