When they returned to find Ziklag burned, their families, all gone, animals, valuables-all looted-even David’s own men spoke of stoning him.
David could’ve wallowed in despair-but he strengthened himself in the LORD &👇🏻
He restored his Faith & sought the answer in prayer. For without Faith it is impossible to please God.👇🏻
&
They did recover all wives, children, animals & possessions-& the loot from many other cities the enemy had plundered!
David had SO much extra-he sent presents to all 12 tribes of Israel!
In 1 day..👇🏻
What the enemy meant to destroy David-became a VICTORY that cemented him as a HERO in the eyes of his family, his men, & all of Israel!
He helped a man left for dead in the desert-who happened to be the enemy’s former servant & he lead David right to them!
