Enduring Times of Testing

Adam Ritchard | 1 Samuel 30:1-8; 1 Peter 1:3-7 — When David and his company were totally plundered, and their families captured by the Amalekites, David became greatly distressed. But, rather than despair, David responded in faith and ‘strengthened himself in the Lord’. As believers we too will endure times of testing. But how we navigate these seasons is of crucial importance. Will we react in fear and defeat? Or will we respond in genuine faith; to seek God’s purpose and promise in all circumstances - all to the glory of our living hope, Jesus Christ.
