1 Samuel 30:4. “Encourages him self in the Lord”

As I was reading the Word of God these thoughts came to me in 1 Samuel 30:4.

You see David’s distress caused him to CRY until he had no more power to cry!

Have you been there? I have, and it hurts real bad, crying with a broken heart in utter distress and seeing God bless others and seemingly not you.

But look David in v6 after his grieving begins to think clear and “Encourages him self in the Lord” that’s what we need to do, take a deep breath look up and say “Lord you are with me I know”.

The word says “Although it delays wait for it” yes wait even at seeming delays, for God to change your life around, to bring joy and brightness into your life, that may be seems to be so sad now and so many down things get you. There is light there is hope. The Word says “Wait, rest in the Lord Wait patiently for it” and “You have need of patience that AFTER you have done God will you may receive the promise” You need to do Gods will first what ever that is for you, as I had to do once.

Do be strong they pain of our hearts is read by Gods Spirit, He groans with us, and will abundantly reward us.
