The ways of God are unappealing and irrelevant when we are angry, isolated, or afraid
David kills Goliath and is now famous
1 Samuel 20:30 NIV
1 Samuel 20:31 NIV
David is abandoned, angry, and afraid
Survival mode: Taking matters into his own hands
When we feel abandoned, angry or afraid, our impulse is panic
1 Samuel 21:1 NIV
1 Samuel 21:2 NIV
David lies
1 Samuel 21:3 NIV
1 Samuel 21:4 NIV
"In you I put my trust, my hope is in you all day long"?
What happened to THAT David?
1 Samuel 21:8 NIV
1 Samuel 21:9 NIV
When we need God most is when we are least likely to lean in His direction
It is so easy to trust God when we have nothing to trust Him with and nothing to trust Him for
1 Samuel 22:10-16 NIV
1 Samuel 22:18 NIV
1 Samuel 22:22 NIV
Taking matters into our own hands feels good but rarely turn out good
What is your loneliness, anger or fear causing you to consider that you've never considered before?
Who do your considerations put at risk?
What advice would you give someone who is you?
Psalms 9:9 NIV
A stronghold
A stronghold in times of trouble
Psalms 9:10 NIV
Matthew 11:28 NIV
Don’t run: remember
