I love this passage right here. I love how David's description says David strengthened himself. Sometimes you have to learn how to strengthen yourself. Amen. And what does that word strengthen mean? It means that he talked to himself. He gave hope to himself. Some of you got to learn. It's okay to talk to yourself. It just depends on what you're saying. Yes, in that video right there, the news today, Tamara was talking to Tamara. Y'all may not have realized that, but you got to learn what to say to yourself when things are not right. And what, again, amazed me about this passage is it says that their sons and their daughters have been taken captive. And they were weeping for their sons and their daughters. and what I want to talk to you today about is rescuing our sons and daughters because our sons and daughters have been taken captive. Yeah. Yeah, our sons and daughters are under the control of society, under control of social media, under control of the culture of the day, under control that they're believing things that the world is telling them that's not right. And I'm coming, I tell you, we've been on a war to capture and reclaim our sons and our daughters. Amen. Look at these kids up here. I'm so proud of them. They would not dare. Wait, don't clap yet. Wait, wait. …

It is a tragic, sad, troubling circumstance and difficult day that they cried. And as a matter of fact, in verse number six, it says, Now David was greatly distressed. David was greatly distressed for the people spoke of stoning him. Because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. I think that's interesting. It says that they were weeping for their sons and their daughters. Y'all notice that they say nothing about their wives, but that's another thing. I'm going to leave that alone right there for a second. I ain't got nothing to say about that point right there. But they were weeping for their sons and their daughters. But then it says this, but David strengthened himself in the Lord his God. I want you to get the picture here. And this is what I want to talk to you about for the few moments that I have remaining. I got 20 minutes to get through a 40-minute sermon. …
