Last week, we looked at the early life of David and his interaction with a foolish man named Nabal. At this early point in his life, David did not display a high level of maturity when he responded to Nabal’s disrespectful remarks. Much has happened in David’s life since that encounter—way too much to even try to summarize this morning—but David has matured both emotionally and spiritually through the trials and struggles of life. God also uses our life experiences to shape us according to His will. When we find ourselves in the middle of difficult circumstances, it is important that we don’t ask God “Why?” Instead, we should ask Him, “What’s next?” He allows us to go through these trials and difficulties to teach us and mold us into the image of Christ. Almost every significant lesson that I have learned in my life has emerged from these fires of adversity. In our message last week, we learned how that when we are trying to find peace in difficult circumstances, sometimes we say we’re wrong in order to reconcile with the others. As we walk through this section of narrative, we will learn another biblical principle of conflict resolution—“Sometimes We Just Say Nothing.”
