" A Friend in the Forest "



🎤 That's the title
of our Lunch Hour
Preaching Message
today!



📜
In 1st Samuel 23:16
David was on the run.


🏃🏻‍♂🦁
Continuously pursued
by Saul!



😫⚡️
Harangued. Harassed.

Disturbed. Perturbed.


😣
From one place to another.
From the city to the desert.

From the desert to the Forest.



🥵
Phew! It's enough to
make you want to quit!



🤗
But in the Forest of David's frustration, there came a friend!


🧔🏻‍♂
A friend found David,
in the Forest of his affliction.


💪🏼
Jonathan encouraged David
and "strengthened his hand in God".

______


There is a friend that
sticks closer than a brother.

JESUS IS THE FRIEND
OF A WOUNDED HEART.

Feeble knees.

Now, no chastening, is a pleasant experience
at the time you're going through it.
Infact it's uncomfortable and unpleasant.


You feel like getting out of it as quick as possible.


But afterwards, later, when the trial is over,
it produces in you some great results spiritually
and in your character.


It's like someone who's been working out
in the gym, or doing exercises.


Trials, tough seasons, are spiritual exercises.


God is training you. He's giving you a work out.


He is reShaping you. He is moulding you.


Infact you ought to be glad that God is
paying so much attention to your growth.


If he left you alone, you might have it easy,
but you wouldn't develop or make progress.


So chin up. Hands up. Knees down.
Strengthen your response to the trouble.
Be encouraged. Work the trial, as the trial
is working you.


Hebrews 12:5-13
