How did David encourage himself in the Lord? How did David draw strength from God?

He waited on the Lord! To wait is to “bind yourself” with God

Steps:

- Shift focus from the crisis to the crucified Christ. Remember God's character and word amid

the situation because God’s character does not change and His words uphold the universe.

- Seek direction from God on what to do next

- Strategise the action plan on how to act on what you have been shown

- Share your goodness with the world even when you are in pain. It is a seed that will always

come back to you and more.

- Remember God has helpers along the way.

- Remain a person of integrity. Don’t seek vengeance

- Act with the end in mind, holding a picture of victory.

- Celebrate God in all things and celebrate people who supported you in the journey.
