1 Samuel 30:6
How do we get courage from being discouraged?
1. Reliance upon the true source of your strength.
•….encouraged in the Lord his God.”
Discouragement is inevitable when we attempt to face the problems of our life in our own strength.
2. Refuse to compromise even when you are overwhelmed.
•Compromise with the world offers a temporary solution to our problems.
2 Corinthians 4:17–18
3. Reach out to others rather than hold on to our discouragement.
•1 Samuel 30:11-15 REF
4. Remember that one person with one courageous decision in the Lord can turn things around.
“So David set out”….”But David pursued”…”And David struck them down”…. “David recovered all.” Nothing was missing.
