1 Samuel Devotionals

A warrior, not a wimp

But David found strength in the Lord his God. (1 Samuel 30:6)

It occurred to me this morning that David did what the apostle Paul would talk about hundreds of years later.

Finally, be strengthened by the Lord and by his vast strength. (Ephesians 6:10)

When hard times come, I want to be a warrior, not a wimp.

I don’t want to throw pity parties, feeling sorry for myself.

Nor do I want to give into bitterness, frustration, or anger at my situation.

Honestly, though, that’s how I act sometimes.

No longer.

I want to be like David, strengthened by God’s might, strapping on his armor, and fighting back against the Enemy.
