When all odds are against you!

While David and his men were out, his enemy came into his city of Ziklag and took all the women, sons, and daughters as captives. Not only this but burned the city with fire!! When David returned, all the people that were with him lifted up their voices and wept until they had no more power to weep. Even David’s wives were taken captive. “And David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke 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.” 1 Samuel 30: 6

This was then key! “but David encouraged himself in the Lord.” Read on, the Bible said David asked the Lord what shall I do? The Lord said, “Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.” 1 Samuel 30: 8

In your life today, encourage yourself in the Lord. You will end up in victory! To our missionary friends here in Haiti, we have gangs all around us, burning, robbing, and taking captives… do not be discouraged. We will end up in victory and the Lord will give Haiti back to the people and the gangs will flee! Without fail we will recover all again.
