LIFE TROUBLES

EVERY BELIEVER THAT IS IN THE BODY OF CHRIST AT ONE TIME OF ANOTHER WILL EXPERIENCE SOME TYPE OF TROUBLE. THE ONE THING THAT I DO KNOW THAT TROUBLE IS NOT MEAN’T TO LAST.

THE WORD TROUBLE COULD BE DEFINE AS ONE WHO AGITATE OR DISTURB.

DAVID’S TROUBLE HAD TO DO WITH HIS FAMILY. HIS DAUGHTER TAMAR WAS VIOLATED BY HER BROTHER AMNON, HIS SON ABSALOM HAD HIS AMNON KILLED.

ABSALOM LOOK AT HIS FATHER DAVID AS WEAK, BECAUSE DAVID DID NOT RETALIATE AGAINST HIS SON AMNON.

DAVID COULD NOT TRUST HIS OWN AIDES OR SON ABSALOM. ABSALOM WAS OUT TO KILL HIM, WHICH CAUSED DAVID TO FLEE.

WHEN YOUR OWN SON OR THE ONES YOU HAVE CLOSEST TO YOU TURN THEIR BACKS ON YOU, IT WOULD PUT YOU ON YOUR KNEES.

DAVID FOUND SOLACE IN PRAYER.

1.

PSALM 3:3 BUT THOU, O LORD, ART A SHIELD FOR ME; MY GLORY, AND THE LIFTER UP OF MINE HEAD.

DAVID SAID LORD YOU’RE MY SHIELD,

MEANING YOU’RE MY PROTECTOR, EVEN THOUGH I AM IN THE MIDST OF TROUBLE , THOU ARE WITH ME.,

WHEN YOU HAVE THE LORD ON YOUR SIDE, WHO CAN BE AGAINST YOU. DAVID SAID YOU’RE MY GLORY, MEANING YOU ARE THE ONE WHO WOULD LEAD ME TO VICTORY.

THE LORD WILL NOT ONLY LIFT YOU UP WHILE YOU IN TROUBLE, BUT HE WILL ALSO GUIDE YOU THROUGH IT.

PSALM 28:7 THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH AND MY SHIELD; MY HEART TRUSTED IN HIM, AND I AM HELPED: THEREFORE MY HEART GREATLY REJOICETH; AND WITH MY SONG WILL I PRAISE HIM.

SOMETIMES WHEN TROUBLE ENTERS YOUR DOORS, A GOOD PRAISE WILL GET YOU THROUGH IT.

2. DAVID ACKNOWLEDGED THE LORD AS A SUSTAINER, MEANING THE LORD UPHOLDS OR MAINTAINS.

BECAUSE DAVID KNOWS THAT THE LORD WATCHES OVER HIM HE CAN FIND COMFORT IN THE NIGHT HOURS.

THE LORD NEVER WANT US TO TAKE OUR TROUBLES TO BED WITH US, BUT WHAT HE WANT US TO DO IS REST IN HIM.

PROVERB 3:24 WHEN THOU LIEST DOWN, THOU SHALT NOT BE AFRAID; YEA, THOU SHALT LIE DOWN, AND THY SLEEP SHALL BE SWEET.

TOO MANY OF US TAKE OUR TROUBLES TO BED WITH US, THAT WE FIND OURSELVES TOSSING AND TURNING WITH NO REST.

BUT I HEARD A PSALMIST SAY THAT LATE IN THE MIDNIGHT HOUR THAT GOD IS GOING TO TURN IT AROUND, HE’S GOING TO WORK IN YOUR FAVOR.

THE LORD CANNOT TURN IT AROUND FOR YOU , IF YOU HARBORING ON WHERE YOU AT, INSTEAD OF SEEING WHERE THE LORD IS TAKING YOU.

IF TROUBLE HAVE NOT ENTER INTO YOUR LIFE, IT COULD BE A INDICATION THAT YOU’RE NO THREAT TO DARKNESS. THE ANOINTING WILL PROVOKE JEALOUSY.

3. DAVID SAID SALVATION BELONGETH UNTO THE LORD:

THE LORD IS THE SOLUTION TO OUR DELIVERANCE.

PSALM 27:1-5 THE LORD IS MY LIGHT AND MY SALVATION; WHOM SHALL I FEAR? THE LORD IS THE STRENGTH OF MY , LIFE; OF WHOM SHALL I BE AFRAID?

2. WHEN THE WICKED, EVEN MINE ENEMIES AND MY FOES, CAME UPON ME TO EAT UP MY FLESH, THEY STUMBLED AND FELL.

3.THOUGH AN HOST SHOULD ENCAMP AGAINST ME, MY HEART SHALL NOT FEAR: THOUGH WAR SHOULD RISE AGAINST ME, IN THIS WILL I BE CONFIDENT.

4. ONE THING HAVE I DESIRED OF THE LORD, THAT WILL I SEEK AFTER; THAT I MAY DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE, TO BEHOLD THE BEAUTY OF THE LORD, AND TO INQUIRE IN HIS TEMPLE.

5. FOR IN THE TIME OF TROUBLE HE SHALL HIDE ME IN HIS PAVILION: IN THE SECRET OF HIS TABERNACLE SHALL HE HIDE ME; HE SHALL SET ME UP UPON A ROCK.

6. AND NOW SHALL MINE HEAD BE LIFTED UP ABOVE MINE ENEMIES ROUND ABOUT ME: THEREFORE WILL I OFFER IN HIS TABERNACLE SACRIFICES OF JOY; I WILL SING, YEA, I WILL SING PRAISES UNTO THE LORD.
