This Week's Worship
The Paradox of Growth
Theme
The training David received in order to be used as a great servant of God was not outward, but spiritual and internal—a wilderness training of the soul.
Before he could carry out God’s work, what he needed first was the growth of patience through that training.
This patience was not merely about controlling his emotions, but about watching and trusting what God was doing.
It meant waiting for God’s work to be fulfilled according to His time and His will.
1 Samuel 30:5-6 (JKV)
David returned to Ziklag and found everything burned, broken, and taken away. His two wives were gone. His men were grieving, angry, and even ready to stone him. David had lost his home, his family, and the trust of his people. Yet in that lowest moment, Scripture says, “But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.”
