FAITH CAPSULE: The deliverance of David from challenging trouble is an experience to learn.

Psalm 3

FIRSTLY, DAVID ACKNOWLEDGED GOD
Despite increasing challenges, David acknowledged the awesomeness of God, saying: “But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, my glory and the One who lifts up my head.” (Psalm 3:3) 
David, in times of his challenging trouble, his worshiping of God was not distracted.
David gave himself to worshiping God instead of worrying over his challenging trouble. He acknowledged God for what God has done and what God could do at the time of challenge.
Acknowledging God in a troubling challenge is the way of thanking God to provoke the intervention of the deliverance hand of God.
Let worshipping God take the center of your life, not the challenging worries.
SECONDLY, DAVID CRIED TO GOD
Who do you cry out to in the time of your challenges?
David cried out to God alone but did not cry out to any man.
Crying out to God will not elude you from God, but you will receive the attention of God for self-deliverance in times of Challenging trouble.
David testifies, “I cried to the Lord with my voice, and He heard me from His holy hill.” (Psalm 3:4) Crying is not a sign of weakness but a way of getting the attention of God.
Often, pride will deny one from crying out before God, but David cried out to God with no spirit of pride.
The evidence of crying out before God with a voice is a cry from the depth of heart as David testifies that he cried to the Lord God. 
Crying out before God with a wide-open mouth should be with the expectation to be filled with manifestation. 
David testifies that the Lord heard him from His holy hill.
Jonah testifies that when he cried out to God because of his affliction, God answered him. (Jonah 2:2)
Are you shy not to cry out to God?
Crying to God is not a sign of weakness. 
THIRDLY, THE TESTIMONY OF TRUST AND HOPE OF DAVID 
The Bible records testimonies of David, “I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the Lord sustained me.” (Psalm 3:5) 
In a time of challenging trouble, the trust of David in God made him lay with the hope not to lose his sleep in the challenging of his life.
Trusting God at the onset of challenging trouble but not having hope in God can deny the testimony of deliverance. With understanding, David was with trust, hope to provoke the intervention of God.
Jeremiah 17:7 testifies of trust and hope, “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord.”
David laid and went to sleep in a challenging time just as Jesus lay and slept in His time of challenging trouble of the storm at His cross-over journey. (Mark 4:35-41) 
To gain victory in a time of challenge, have trust and hope in God.
Learn in the word of God to know to lean on God in all ways of life. 

Prayer for today: Ask God to let you learn in His word and know to lean on Him.
