Pastor Brad Morgan of New Life Beginnings Church in Brookshire / Pattison, TX continues continues speaking about David. David had grown weary waiting for the promise made to him by the prophet Samuel that he would be king. In 1 Samuel 27:1 says, "And David said in his heart, now I shall perish someday by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me that I should speadily escape to the land of the Philistines, and Saul will despair of me to seek me anymore in any part of Israel so I shall escape out of his hands." David was not supposed to do that, he was in the wrong place for the wrong reason. But God's grace still covered him. God had wanted to ressurect the promise in his life, but David was not at the place of ressurection, instead he went to Ziklag and was at the place of judment.
In 1 Samuel 30:1 it speaks about David being in Ziklag on the third day. David found himself at Ziklag and at that time the Amalekites had attacked Ziklag and burned it with fire. The Amalekites had taken captive the women and those that were there, wives sons and daughters and carried them away and left Ziklag burned. When David and his men came to the city their wives, sons and daughters were gone and had been taken captive.
Even in all this, David chose to be strong. He strengthened himself in the Lord. He chose to be strong in the Lord. Pastor Brad teaches about what we have available to us to be strong in the Lord. He also teaches further about how David used this strength in his situation. Continuing on to recover all and then some.
