1 Samuel 30: 6 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 daughters. But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.
David became a victim of something somebody else had done. His people were discouraged. In their discouragement they “turned” on their adopted leader, remembering of course that the folks who were with David at that time were the disaffected, disillusioned, down and outers who seem to always look for someone to lead them in their distress.
David, however, was not undone by this anger and the threat posed by the people’s loss. David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.” In these times when everybody seems to be playing the blame game and “seeking retribution” or recompense it’s easy to become a target. Some years ago I happened on a song written by a colleague who’s unabashed enthusiasm for encouraging folk affected me greatly. The lyric went something like this.
Well I went to the enemy camp
And I took back what he stole from me,
I took back what he stole from me,
I took back what he stole from me
Well I went to the enemy camp
And I took back what he stole from me,
Now he’s under my feet, Now he’s under my feet
Yeah he’s under my feet, Now he’s under my feet
Satan is under my feet. (Bob Wainwright)
Take courage my friend your redemption is near.
