Don’t doubt in the darkness what God has shown you in the light. David, the youngest son of Jesse, after seven years of solitude with his Father’s sheep was thrown into the public eye. One moment he is delivering cheese sandwiches to his brothers on the battlefront, the next he is the champion of his people and the heartthrob of every woman in Israel.
Although, because of King Saul’s jealous spirit David’s glory was short lived and he was charged with treason and a sentence of death. After he slaughtered Goliath and saved his nation he finds himself hiding in a limestone hole, both clammy and dark. He had every right to be resentful and try to rise on his own to a position of leadership, yet David said, “You will enlighten my light; weeping only endures for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” (Ps.18: 28; 30:5).
When you find yourself in David’s place, in a hole that is filled with darkness and no light at the end of the tunnel, it is not time to give up. David had a promise from God that he would be the King of Israel; because of this promise he focused on what God had told him. God has a plan and a promise for you, and it is found in His word as you dwell in His presence.
