“David asked the Lord, ‘Shall I go after those raiders? And will I catch them?’ He answered, ‘Go after them; you will catch them and rescue the captives.”   (1 Samuel 30: 8)

David and his men came back to their abode at Ziklag to find their families had been taken captive. The usually dedicated soldiers blamed David bitterly, wanting to stone him, but David turned to the Lord for strength and solution. He got them and more! In obedience, he listened and did everything the Lord had told him to do. “David rescued everyone and everything the Amalekites had taken.” (1 Samuel 30:18-20)

ACTION: Don’t give up! Pray and ask for a solution, then do what God says!

PRAYER: Our Father and our God, thank You, our solution-giver. Please grant us the grace not to look for scapegoats when we face challenges but to look unto You for solutions, in Jesus name. Amen. We shall recover all we have lost and much more at such a time as this!
