David's Faith Fails

Even with the most devout man or woman of God, there are times when faith grows weary, when the presence of God seems far off and the promises of God feel like a false hope. At these times, we have a choice: We can look to God and find strength and a way of escape, or, we can look within ourselves and try to come up with our own plans to escape. David did the latter: he cast aside the promises of God, as well as the evidences of God’s past protection.
