The Bible Project Daily Podcast What to Do When You're in the Middle of Trouble. (1 Samuel 23: 1-29)
Trouble.
It’s one of the few things every human being has in common. When does it start? Some parents might say around age two. When does it end? Well… probably when you draw your final breath. Job said it well: “Man is born to trouble as the sparks fly upward.” Later, he added, “Man… is of few days and full of trouble.”
So, if you’re breathing today, you probably know exactly what he means.
So, here’s the question that matters: What do you actually do when you’re in the middle of it? Not before the trouble, not after the trouble—in it. When your heart is aching, when your mind is spinning, when options feel few and your strength is failing… what then?
The Bible gives us answers, and today we’re going to focus on one story that can help us find one of those answers—it’s about a moment in David’s life when he was surrounded by trouble on every side, and yet somehow he still found the clarity to do what was right.
