When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to search for David. But David heard of it and went out against them. 1 Chronicles 14:8
Sometimes you have to approach a problem head-on…not waiting until it finds you.
Have you got a problem staring you in the face? Is there a conversation you know you need to have, but you’re afraid of the response of the other person? Do you need to challenge a friend? Do you need to admit your marriage is in trouble? Are you struggling with some difficult business decisions?
You can ignore it.
You can hope it goes away.
You may even be able to run from it…for a while.
Eventually, most problems have a way of surfacing again.
My advice, follow the example of King David. Attack your problems before they attack you.
You’ll have more control on offense than on defense.
What problem do you need to face today?
This is so helpful… Thank you so much sir! David is one of my favorite character.. and you are definitely right..
We should attack the problems before they attack you.
Thank you. God bless
Right now, I have so many Goliaths to slay in my work. I intend to take on those one by one. I take courage from the verse 1 John 4:4 — "You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world."
Praying for you!
Ron, this is great advice. I would also suggest that David went out EXPECTING victory! I had a similar post to this yesterday…
