Not one kind of a preacher here.. well let's say I am more into a Sunday School teacher. OMG, miss my Sunday School kids back in Perth! Anyway, the story was about David who was on the run because he was gonna be killed by Saul because he stole Saul's chicken. (Ok that last bit is crispy (garink) and not true).
>>>>>>>>> fast forward to chapter 30
David's army found their houses were burnt down, their wifes and children were prisoners. The feeling of hopeless, anger and sadness .. they weep till they were able to go on weeping no longer. Then the people were talking of stoning David, because their hearts were bitter, every man sorrowing for his sons and his daughters.
In such desperation by himself, David made himself strong in the Lord his God (1 Sam 30: 8)
You know sometimes as human we're so limited until we feel like there is nothing else we can do in our power. Not to mention when those who were in our side who in a perfect kinda world would stay by our side (yada yada yada), started to go against us. What's worse could happen? You are just you - nothing else left. Oh, I'm sure you know what I’m talking about ;)
So what can we do when there is only yourself left? Do you know the most powerful preacher & motivator lives within yourself? (This is what I am doing to myself I guess =p). Other people can say you can do it, what is the use of it if you keep telling yourself you can't do it. Gosh you know how they always try to bring you down, but they won't succeed unless you allow them to. What you think of yourself will decide who you are and where you gonna end up. So who you are and what kind of life you gonna have? You decide. Never let any circumstances steal your mind and heart away. That goes to me.
Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path. You set the stars in their place and call them by name. The very hairs of my head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. For God is greater than my heart though I will find trouble in the worldbut, never lose heart, because my God has conquered the world!
Positive feelings are what make life worth living.
Never loose faith.
