Moreover David was greatly distressed because the people spoke of stoning him, for all the people were embittered, each one because of his sons and his daughter, but David strengthened himself in the Lord his God. I Samuel 30:6
David found himself "at the bottom of the barrel". He returned to find their encampment burned, and all their families kidnapped. The weeping and embittered people blamed David and spoke of stoning him. He made a decision that saved the day. He strengthened himself in God. God calmed his spirit, answered his questions, and gave him guidance to find solutions. Before it was all over, they recovered the families and all their property. His enemies were punished and he returned home a victor. What changed his day? He turned to God for strength. It will still work today. Let's give it a try.
