Two Mistakes:
LIED to the King (1 Sam 27)
ALIGNED with the Enemy (1 Sam 29)

1 Sam 30:6 ESV
And David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because all the people were bitter in soul, each for his sons and daughters. But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.

WE ARE WHERE WE ARE

We do NOT Have to STAY HERE!

8 And David inquired of the LORD, “Shall I pursue after this band? Shall I overtake them?” He answered him, “Pursue, for you shall surely overtake and shall surely rescue!”

God will Use your Investment in OTHERS
Who will LEAD you into the things He has for YOU!

1 Sam 30:18, 23-25
18 David recovered ALL… (I will definitely quote vs 18, but not the whole vs b/c I don’t want to get stuck explaining why David had two Wives, btw he wasn’t suppose to… Lol)

23 But David said, “No, my brothers! Don’t be selfish with what the LORD has given us. He has kept us safe and helped us defeat the band of raiders that attacked us. 24 Who will listen when you talk like this? We share and share alike—those who go to battle and those who guard the equipment.” 25 From then on David made this a decree and regulation for Israel, and it is still followed today.

Strengthen YOURSELF in the LORD

Inquire of the Lord

He RECOVERED It ALL!
