(King) David was a case study in
How to Handle Adversity (enmity/envy/resentment) after great triumph (ie.
Goliath).
[1 Samuel 17]
In other words, “What To Do When,”
after glorious success, the bottom seems to fall out; or, all hell seems to
break loose?
[Pastor; 1 Samuel 18]
Elijah, who cried, “Lord, take my
life!” [1 Ki 19:4]; and Job, who
worshipped the Lord [Job 1”20], after living an exemplary life [Job 1:8] are
just two other examples of the inevitable contradictions of success.
David understood “covenant,” and
proved by his response to adversity that “covenant” Love never fails.
[Pastor; Psalm 11:1; 59:1-9; 6:4b]
Because of the “covenant” of Love,
we need never succumb to despair; but, rather slip away and breathe His name
(pray); and find that an open conversation with Jesus will prove to be your
spiritual vitamin.
[Pastor; Psalm 18:3]
ThenSingsMySoul:
UNTO THEE, O LORD,
DO I LIFT UP MY SOUL (repeat)
O, MY GOD, I TRUST IN THEE
LET ME NOT BE ASHAMED,
LET NOT MINE ENEMIES TRIUMPH OVER
ME!
[Psalm 25:1-2]
