Waiting On God In The Wilderness - David
Your Story In The Wilderness Is A Good Story
David was “the man after God’s own heart”, the greatest king in Israel’s history and someone who experienced incredible prosperity. Yet, his life was also riddled with grueling experiences in the wilderness - both literal and metaphorical. Most of us will never experience the wrenching isolation, injustice, deprivation or grief that David did.
In every wilderness episode we walk through in our lives, “the story we believe we are in determined what we think about ourselves and consequently how we live”. In the Psalms, we see David wrestling with the competing stories about what was happening to him. At the end of the day, though, only one story won out. David knew that because God was his God, he was in a good story. Listen to this week’s sermon to learn about the true story in your wilderness.
