Example of losing confidence

• David pretends to be insane when captured by
  Achish. 1 Samuel 2110-15
• v 11 Isnt he the one they sang about in their
  dances Saul has slain his thousands and David
  has slain his tens of thousands?
• 12 David took these words to heart and was very
  much afraid of Achish king of Gath.

21

• 13 So he pretended to be insane in their presence
  and while he was in their hands he acted like a
  madman, making marks on the doors of the gate
• And letting saliva run down his beard.

22
Is this the same David? that said to Goliath

• 1Samuel 1745 You come against me with sword
  and spear and javelin, but I come to you in the
  name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies
  of Israel, whom you have defied. 46 This day the
  Lord will hand you over to me, and Ill strike
  you down and cut off your head.

23
1Samuel 17

• Today I will give the carcasses of the Philistine
  army to the birds of the air and the beasts of
  the earth, and the whole earth will know that
  there is a God in Israel. 47 All those gathered
  here will know that it is not by sword or spear
  that the Lord saves for the battle is the Lords
  and He will give you into our hands.

24
Its hard to stay focused when you have doubts

• The problems are sometimes all that you can see.

25
Asaph became envious and resentful

• Of who? Those who are prosperous, wicked and
  arrogant. Not all wealthy are wicked and not all
  wicked are wealthy.
• Social analysis of above
• Reasons v4 They have no pain, their bodies are
  sound and sleek.
• 5 They are not in trouble as others are they are
  not plagued like other people

26
Social analysis that leads to religious crisis

• 6 Therefore pride is their necklace, violence
  covers them like a garment
• 7 Their eyes swell out with fatness 8 They scoff
  and speak with malice 9-10 They set their mouth
  against heaven, therefore the people turn and
  praise them and find no fault in them 12 Such are
  the wicked, always at ease, they increase in
  riches.

27
The many emotions that Asaph processed

• Fear
• Envy
• Anger
• Resentment
• Indifference

28
Is envy or any of these emotions a sign of lack
of faith?

• Some see this as lack of faith. I see it as
  processing your faith.
• Making the right choices. One choice at a time.
• Romans 121-2 Do not conform to the world but be
  ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.

29
James 12-4

• 2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you
  face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know
  that the testing of your faith develops
  perseverance. 4 Perseverance must finish its work
  so that you may be mature and complete, not
  lacking anything.

  of when he said to you, I will give your enemy

  wish. Then David crept up unnoticed and cut off
  a corner of Sauls robe.

  having cut off a corner of his robe.

32

  I should do such a thing to my master, the Lords
  anointed, or lift my hand against him for he is

  not allow them to attack Saul. And Saul left the
  cave and went his way.

  to Saul, My lord the king! And when Saul
  looked behind him, David bowed down and
  prostrated himself with his face to the ground.

  say, David is bent on harming you?

  said, I will not lift my hand against my
  master, because he is the Lords anointed.
• 11 See, my father, look at this piece of your
  robe in my hand! I cut off the corner of your
  robe but did not kill you.

35

  my life.

  avenge me of thee but my hand shall not be upon
  thee.

  have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge I will
  tell all of your deeds.
