presence I appreciate you 1st Samuel 30 verse 3-9 when you have it say Amen if you can’t find it we’re going to put it on the screen you’re going to see it anyway I can tell you this if you s uh Phim and you’re in the wrong direction you got to go back to the other end of the book 1 Samuel 30:3 we come into this moment in David’s life uh that is perplexing it is it is a hard place in his life and it says so David and his men came to the city and behold it was burned with fire and their wives and their sons and their daughters
had been abducted they’ been taken captive then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voices David and the people that were with him lifted up their voices and wept until they had no more power to weep that grief that kind of grief where it runs out of tears and David’s two wives were taking captives Lord have mercy I might have left one of them anyway and David’s two wives were taken captive aoam the gelite and Abigail the wife of nabal the Carmelite and David was greatly distressed just because you’re a leader
doesn’t mean you don’t feel just because you got a degree doesn’t mean you don’t feel just because you got things going doesn’t mean you don’t feel great David was greatly distressed for the people spake of stoning him the people spake of stoning him because the soul of all the people was grieved every man for his sons and for his daughters so grief has turned to anger see emotions will switch on you that’s why people change on you cuz in in in one season of their life they’re one way but in another season of
their life they will Swit so they were crying together now they’re ready to kill him because when things go wrong for you you always need somebody to blame and when David saw the men that he come back with turn on him and decide we’re ready to take you out David encouraged himself tell somebody say I’ll do it myself and David said to ABI the priest a himc son I pray thee bring me hither the epod and ab brought hither thither the ephod to David and David inquired of the of the Lord saying shall I pursue after this troop shall I overtake them
