David often found himself outside the safety and security of home or city walls, sleeping under the stars with no defense around him.
He learned to fully trust the Lord because of His faithfulness.
Psalm 9:9-10 The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
Few, if any of us can relate to David.
I have never faced the horrors of battle or a mighty giant while still very young. I have not been pursued by one of my children who sought my life.
But we all have faced battles and struggles in life that were very real.
In the midst of trouble the Lord didn’t forsake me when I sought Him. I knew His name. He‘s the one constant in an ever changing world.
Do you personally know Jesus? Is His Holy Spirit dwelling in your heart? If not, seek Him. Trust Him.
