When David Was Distressed

Read:  Psalm 100 / Proverbs 06 / 1 Samuel 30 / John 17

 

Psalm 100:2,4 ~ Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence... be thankful unto him, and bless his name. 

Proverbs 6:3,5 ~ Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself... go, humble thyself... Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.

1 Samuel 30:6 ~ David was greatly distressed... but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.

John 17:15 ~ I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

 

With gladness and with gratitude

We serve the Lord and bless His name. 

We are encouraged and renewed

By Christ who purged our sin and shame.

 

We’re called to pray with confidence

Like David when he was distressed,

For Christ is also our Defense

Who hears our prayer and gives us rest.
