Salmos 63:6

When trials seem beyond what we can bear, where do we run? Who do we call when we are under attack? This five-day devotion from Thistlebend will help learn how to use the red phone - to run, cling, and hold fast to God, regardless of the circumstances.

David lidiaba con la aflicción y las burlas. Nos ha enseñado a llevar la Palabra de Dios en oración delante de Dios y el poder de recordar lo que Dios ha hecho en el pasado. Estas dos condiciones no son nuestros únicos enemigos en la vida. A veces la vida misma nos abruma. Al mirar a nuestro alrededor vemos un mundo repleto de maldad. No importa cuán fuerte sea usted, habrá ocasiones que la sensación de desesperación ante la iniquidad se hace más fuerte de lo que pensamos que podemos sobrellevar. 

Often we feel as if we’re not doing enough. Then we feel guilty because we’re supposed to be having quiet times with God too—but when we try to slow down, our hearts and minds are still busy. The story of Mary and Martha offers us guidance as well as grace in this tension. It’s a story of two sisters. It’s a story for each of us.

King David is described in the New Testament as a man after God’s own heart, meaning that he aligned his own heart with that of God’s. As we study David’s life, our goal for this series is to analyze the things David did in 1 & 2 Samuel in order to mold our hearts after God’s and resemble the same intensity of focus and spirit that David showcased throughout his life.
