How To Survive Disaster

Psalm 63:1 (NIV) A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah.

You, God, are my God,

earnestly I seek you;

I thirst for you,

my whole being longs for you,

in a dry and parched land

where there is no water.

When David wrote Psalm 63, he was facing the most trying time of his life, he was forced to run away from the palace just like he did in the time of Saul because his own son whom he raised plotted to take the throne and kill him.

To make matter worse, David's best friend Ahitophael supported Absalom and as he was running away, a man by the name of Shimea started throwing stones at David, cursed him and accused him of reaping what he sowed because he stole the throne of Saul.

David ran to the desert, that was the only place he was welcome. Yet in the midst of all these, in a desert where there was no water, all David cared about was to see God! He longed to go into the sanctuary he had in his palace and worship God!

Beloved, the most dangerous people are those who worship God in the midst of trials, they will not stay in that situation for long.

It was in the place of worship that David sealed the fate of Absalom and Ahitophael; Psalm 63:9 (NIV) says: "Those who want to kill me will be destroyed..." they were destroyed. Absalom was caught in the thicket of a tree as he tried to escape and Ahitophael hung himself.

I know that problem is causing you to worry but the response to that problem should not be depression, it should be to search for God and to worship Him. That is the key to getting out of whatever you are facing. You will come out stronger in Jesus name.
