| Tuesday, Feb. 2nd "When David and his men came to Ziklag, they found it destroyed by fire and their wives and sons and daughters taken captive. So David and his men wept aloud until they had no strength left to weep...David was greatly distressed because the men were talking of stoning him; each one was bitter in spirit because of his sons and daughters. But David found strength in the Lord his God." 1 Samuel 30:3-4;6-7 David was blessed and chosen of God but he still faced trials and tribulations as it is with us as Christians. There is an enemy and darkness that wants to come against the light - always! David's best friends were ready to kill him in this story! Despite the adversities David faced he continued on with the hand of God on him. David was successful in Christ. What did David do in choices he made? He brought God's presence in the midst of the darkness and this resulted in specific instructions from God on exactly what to do in the situation (v.7-8). This resulted in David being sustained and all things working together for good (v.18) - sermon notes |

| Friday, Feb. 19th How to keep a right attitude all the time? (1) Preparation - I need to set my compass in the morning to live like Christ so during the course of the day when something happens I am better equipped to handle it (2) Don't curse the situation - we tend to "stew" on things, murmur, grumble, and get offended. God often uses people and situations to help us learn more about ourselves and Him (3) Don't nurse your wounds (4) Don't rehearse the situation - it will become like a ball and chain strapped to us if we do this (5) Disperse it to God - we need to give our conflicts with others to God. Give it to God and let Him deal with it because He can change hearts. We need to keep our minds stayed on Christ and let His light "son-burn" us and leave His mark on us. (sermon notes) "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee." Isaiah 26:3 |
| Wednesday, February 24th Wherever you are, be all there. Live to the hilt every situation you believe to be the will of God. "But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander." 1 Peter 3:15-16 |
| Thursday, March 4th Do you know that rest, the rest that comes from the heart of God and permeates every fiber of who you are...no matter what you are facing? God desires for you to know His rest, for you to experience the fullness of His love and His peace. If your soul is in turmoil, lift your gaze to the Father. Seek His heart. He will meet you at your need and sustain you one day at a time. Spend some sacred quiet time with Him today! "But he said to me,'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.'" 2 Cor. 12:9 |
| Friday, March 5th A situation that seems impossible with human resources is simply an opportuntiy for God. "Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days." Psalm 90:14 |
