I. To whom do you go? Here, brothers and sisters, is a lesson we must learn. Here is a question we must ask. To whom do you go when you are greatly distressed? To what do you turn, when you are overwhelmed? Therein lies your answer or your problem. It could be the difference of life or death, consolation or chaos, comfort or distress, strength or weakness, etc. II. For whom do you wait? There is a need to wait upon the Lord to strengthen ourselves in Him. He may strengthen us quickly but sometimes He chooses to do so slowly. But we must be willing to wait no matter what because we know no other measures or gods will do. We deliberately by faith declare: "If you will not help, if you will not comfort and strengthen me then I will die here waiting because I can go no where else!!!"
III. Go to your heavenly father for strength and comfort. The verse says, "But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God." The verb is reflexive, he "strengthened himself" in the Lord. That is, he took encouragement (KJV) from His God — M. Poole says, he strengthened himself from "the power, promises, and fatherly providence of God." Those are helpful.
