"He Grieves" - 05/15/16 - 2 Samuel 16-18




"Then King David was deeply moved and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept."(18:33)



"Despondency.

In many ways mental suffering is more intense and devastating than physical suffering. 

It was hard for David to even imagine taking up life again and going back to Jerusalem as king. 

It is only The Lord who can give courage in such moments, and He often does it by reminding us of who He is, what He has done in the past, and what He promises to do in the future.

Sandwiched in these certainties, we can begin to see that His Hand is on us. 
Even in our grief."
