We examine part of King David's life in this Talk. He started low in society by being the youngest son and a shepherd. Some years after he became King, David was overthrown by his son Absalom. He was living in a ditch again. How did he feel? What was his relationship with God like now? He had lost everything!
God does allow bad things to happen. What is my response to God when there is a big crisis in my life. Is it still "Your will be done, Lord?" Things might seem very bad at the time, but later they might be seen as a blessing. Can we say "Help me through this, God?" May we pray as David did in Psalm 3. May we continue to have confidence in God. May we all know that God is a shield about us!
Rescue, help and salvation belongs to God.
