In 1 Samuel 30-6 David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.
The last part of that verse has something powerful to say.
We know the first part is normal we all get distressed because of our battles...but when it says "David had to encourage himself" it is sad.
David had hundreds of men he had been through a lot of battles with and he even had 30 mighty men in his quests... however this battle had affected them to the point that they were ready to give up, and they turned against David.
You might get to a place in your life where it seems like everybody and everything has turned against you. But you must make up your mind to stand, even if you have to stand alone.
Notice this verse “David had to encourage himself".
Encourage yourself In the Word
Evangelist Tim Hall
