David was going through intense difficulty. Some of his friends, including his most family and friends, where turning against him, and it was painful.
How did David solve this problem?
He called upon the Lord (v.12). David had a systematic prayer life. He called upon God and told Him his troubles. David let God do the judging in verse 19. David believed God would resolve the problem. Don’t treat others the way they treat you. Instead, treat them the way you would want to be treated. Don’t return evil for evil. And David was determined to learn from the experience. David was going through a change of friends, and this was helping him to fear God more. We usually don’t like changes. But whenever God brings change to our lives, we can learn from it. Let’s not get so comfortable, so settled, that God can’t do anything new in our lives.
Determined to learn from difficult experiences. God has a purpose for allowing every difficulty and problem. Let Him teach you new truths and work in your life in new ways.
