THIS WEEK'S TAKEAWAYS
Key Theme:
God has proven himself to be faithful and trustworthy in times of personal trouble.
Key Application:
The exercise of remembering all that God has done and all the ways He has provided for you in your life is an excellent practice in times of trouble and need.
Key Verse:
1 Samuel 26:8-11 "Then Abishai said to David, “God has given your enemy into your hand this day. Now please let me pin him to the earth with one stroke of the spear, and I will not strike him twice.” But David said to Abishai, “Do not destroy him, for who can put out his hand against the Lord's anointed and be guiltless?” And David said, “As the Lord lives, the Lord will strike him, or his day will come to die, or he will go down into battle and perish. The Lord forbid that I should put out my hand against the Lord's anointed. But take now the spear that is at his head and the jar of water and let us go.”
Key Takeaways:
1. How do you see God providing for David in 1 Samuel chapters 16-26? What does this teach us about God’s faithfulness to his promises?
2. What are promises that God has made to Christians in scripture? How do we know that He is faithful to those promises?
3. How have you seen God’s faithfulness to you in your own personal life? What are some unexpected ways that you’ve been seen through hard times? How does remembering those instances grow your faith in God’s faithfulness?
4. How does God providing for you in past situations have an impact on how you think and act in times of trouble now? How does it impact how you think and act about the future and what may come?

Church family, we praise God for how faithfully in so many respects you give. Our church family is undeniably generous, but we still have great needs for supplication. We ask that you give joyfully, faithfully and sacrificially in response to how our great God and Savior has given to us.
