Part 4 - David

Hebrews 12:1 NIV: Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Don't Lose Sight In The Dark I Samuel 24:2,3 NIV: So Saul took three thousand able young men from all Israel and set out to look for David and his men near the Crags of the Wild Goats. He came to the sheep pens along the way; a cave was there, and Saul went in to relieve himself. David and his men were far back in the cave. I Samuel 24:4 NIV:The men said, 'This is the day the Lord spoke of when he said to you, 'I will give your enemy into your hands for you to deal with as you wish.'' Then David crept up unnoticed and cut off a corner of Saul's robe. God's Faithfulness God's Ways 2 Samuel 22:22-23 NLT: For I have kept the ways of the Lord; I have not turned from my God to follow evil. I have followed all his regulations; I have never abandoned his decrees. God's Protection I Samuel 24:22b NIV: David and his men went up to the stronghold. Psalm 18:2 NIV: The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. The Sheep Pen = God's Faithfulness The Stronghold = God's Protection The Cave = God's Process Psalm 57:7-11 NLT: My heart is confident in you, O God; my heart is confident. No wonder I can sing your praises! Wake up, my heart! Wake up, O lyre and harp! I will wake the dawn with my song. I will thank you, Lord, among all the people. I will sing your praises among the nations. For your unfailing love is as high as the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens. May your glory shine over all the earth.
