Finding Strength in God

Life has a way of wearing a person down. Deadlines, disappointments, and difficulties in relationships are just a few examples of the challenges of life that can lead to discouragement or even worse depression.

One of my heroes in the Bible, King David, had his share of setbacks and challenges in life. On one particular tough time in his life, he and his friends were so disheartened that they wept until they could weep no more.

At the depth of his discouragement, the Bible records that David "found strength in the LORD his God" (1 Samuel 30:6). This is a reminder to me (and hopefully you) that as humans we don't have the answer within us but that the answer for life's challenges rest in God!
