This week, Pastor David urged that it is the time to grow strong in the Lord. Like King David, when we find ourselves in times of trial—because of the brokenness of others and/or our own misalignment with the will of God—the solution is found in God’s presence. Our heavenly King is kind and patient. When we seek His presence, He meets us and supplies all we need.
King David strengthened himself in the Lord through writing out his prayers (the Psalms) and through seeking God’s will through the Holy Spirit (The Ephod). It seems like in today’s cultural moment, people are trying to find strength, or power, or freedom not by surrendering or submitting to God’s will, but by trying to bend the environment around them to their own will.
