Recover All

---

“Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all.’ 1 Samuel 30:8

While David and his men were off fighting, the Amalekites destroyed their homes and took their families captive. First, David’s army wept. Second, they looked to David for guidance. Third, David sought God, saying, ‘“Shall I pursue this troop? Shall I overtake them?” And He answered him, “Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all.”’ Notice four important points:

1. Satan will direct attacks at your loved ones to get to you, and you, therefore, need to stay alert and discern his’ attacks, so you can defend yourself against them.

2. Love people but lean only on God. The people David fought alongside with one day turned against him the next day. That’s why your strength, strategies, and solutions for living must come from God, not others.

3. Find your strength in God. ‘David encouraged himself in the Lord.’ 1 Samuel 30:6. To find encouragement, talk to the Lord, He is the One who can change your situation. The Bible says, ‘A wholesome [uplifting, positive, inspiring] tongue is a tree of life.’ Proverbs 15:4. From God’s word, speak right, and speak life to your situation.

4. You can get back what you have lost. God told David, ‘Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all.’ What God did for David and his men that day, He will do for you in Jesus Christ name, Amen.
