Leaving Discouragement Behind

Text: 1 Sam 30:3-6

The Violence David Faced
  • Soul's Rage - 27:1-2
  • David's Relocation - 27:3-4
  • Amalekites Robbery - 30:1-3
The Vitriol David Felt
  • His men were discouraged - 30:4
  • His heart was distressed - 30:6a
  • His life was in danger - 30:6b
    • Why are you discouraged today?
      • Turn it around, like David did
      • Stop focusing on the negative, focus on the good.
The Virtues David Showed
  • He encouraged himself - 30:6c
  • He enquired of heaven - 30:7-8
    • Thank God for the goodness he has done, then pray to him. Always talk to God, not only when they bad, but always even when things are good. The Lord loves you he wants to hear from you all the time.
  • He engaged the enemy - 30:16-17
    • What brings you discouraged, & pray to the Lord... Self>>>Sin>>>Selfishness of others
    • Your husband, wife kids or employer are not your enemies is SATAN.
The Victories of Davids Future
  • From hurt to hope - 30:18-20
  • From refugee to royalty - 2 Sam 5:1-2
Conclusion:
  • If you quit in the valley, you'll stay in the valley.
  • When discouraged follow Davids example, focus on God's goodness, pray for direction, and do what God leads you to do.
