1 Samuel 30:6 NLT “David was now in great danger because all his men were very bitter about losing their sons and daughters, and they began to talk of stoning him. But David found strength in the Lord his God.”
When everything in the natural wasn’t going right for David, he strengthened himself in the Lord.
There will be times where it seems like everything is going wrong in our lives. Like David, we should strengthen or encourage ourselves in the Lord. But, how?
We strengthen ourselves in the Lord by focusing more on what God said and what He promised than what we’re experiencing in the natural. We may be having negative experiences in our health, our finances may be limited, and there’s no peace in our home. Instead of focusing on that, we should focus on by His stripes we are healed (1 Pet. 2:24), God increases us more and more (Ps. 115:14), God’s peace will guard our hearts and minds (Phil. 4:7).
Proverbs 18:21 says death and life are in the power of the tongue. Speak God’s word despite what we’re experiencing. Tell the behavior of our children to immediately improve, declare our bodies to be healed, and command the manifestation of our desires.
Finally, we keep doubt, fear, and unbelief away by building our faith. Romans 10:17 says faith comes by hearing the word of God. So daily, if not hourly, we need to position ourselves to hear God’s word. Go on YouTube or a church’s website and listen to a sermon for your situation.
Never get down about the situations of life. Stay encouraged by focusing on God’s word, speaking God’s word, and listening to God’s word.
