We informed everyone today that we have a blog. I don't know why but everyone started laughing when Darlene told the class that my first blog was very lengthy. Like I have the "gift of gab" or something. O.K. I admitted that I am a "long winded blogger."
Mark it on your calendar now. Our Christmas Party will be on December 12. Bring the kids and it will be a lot of fun. It will be at the Fellowship Hall of the church.
Our lesson today from our study, "One Nation Under God" was entitled, "David: Paradise Lost." Before David became King of Israel, he was the talk of the country because of his victory over Goliath and his continual military victories. Then the bottom fell out. King Saul became jealous of all the top 40 hit songs written about David and committed to seeing David dead.
David had to flee for his life and leave everything behind that was dear to him, except one thing, his relationship with God. While hiding from King Saul, David could have been bitter, cynical and extremely negative. After all he had been on the top and now he was at the bottom. So what did he do? He chose to turn to God in prayer, praise and in total surrender to His will.
When the bottom falls out in our life and we find our self in a "cave," respond as David did. Pray, praise and surrender. Later David became the greatest King in Israel's history. David is also the most mentioned person in the Bible with over 1,100 references in the Bible to David because he knew what to do when he found himself in a cave.
