1Sa 30:1 And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;
1Sa 30:2 And had taken the women captives, that were therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way.
1Sa 30:3 So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.
1Sa 30:4 Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
1Sa 30:5 And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
1Sa 30:6 And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.
David and his mighty men of valor returned to where they were staying and all had been burned with fire.Their women and children were taken captive by invaders. Our nation is burning and being looted by invaders from within. People are despondent and fearful. First the virus, now the destruction of our businesses and our finances.
2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
2Ti 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
Scriptures tell us to be a thankful people. David encouraged himself in the LORD. The LORD will encourage us in his word. Try reading the Psalms and singing hymns. David also asked the LORD what he should do? The LORD said for him to go and take the captives back from the enemy. This they did. Be thankful, encourage yourself in the LORD and pray for help and direction. Receive his peace with a grateful heart and be glad for what you have.
