LOOKING UNTO JESUS!



"David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God." -I SAMUEL 30:6 [KJV]
David found himself in a very discouraging situation. Ziklag had been burned with fire, the families of David and his army had been taken captive, his men were ready to stone him to death. How could David find any encouragement in this situation? He took his eyes off the situation and fixed his heart and faith upon the Lord his God. Who is all our comfort in times of trial and heartache? The Lord our God! When we look within we find nothing but sin, doubt and discouragement. But when we are blessed with eyes of faith to behold Him, who is the Lord our God, sovereign, wise, and able to do above all we ask or think [EPHESIANS 3:20] then we have every reason to be encouraged in the Lord our God. Our Lord says, "Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else" [ISAIAH 45:22]. What a word of encouragement! David encouraged himself by the very means God ordained, His word of truth [PSALM 115:1-4; 121; 135:1-6]. God help us to do the same [PSALM 55:22]!
