In 1 Samuel 30, David's wives and children had been abducted (along with everyone else's) and their city burned to the ground. Because of the men's great sorrow, David became the scapegoat. It says that "David was greatly distressed because the people spoke of stoning him."
Now, THAT'S a bad day!
I love what he did next:
"But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God."
1 Sam. 30:6 AMEN!
That's just what we have to do! Get alone with God and get in the Word and receive the strength we need. It's available to us!
