1 Samuel 30:1-6
David was at the bottom. He was so far down the ladder of despair that he'd reached the bottom rung. The last stop. The place where you either jump off into oblivion or you cry out to God for rescue. For help. Now. And we do have that choice, because God never gives up on his children.
David made the right choice. "David was greatly distressed...But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God"(1 Sam 30:6).
The pit may seem bottomless, but there's hope above. Reach up! Help is there.
For the first time in months, David looks up, and he says, "Oh God, help me". And he does. He always will. He is "a present help" when needed.
Dark days call for right thinking and vertical focus. This test is designed to bring him to his knees so he will look up.
As we also must do.
