1Sa 30:3 | MHM | STEP | v. 3-4 : When David and his men returned after three days, they saw their city in ruins and their families gone (1 Samuel 30:3 ). They were so sad that they cried until they had no strength left (1 Samuel 30:4 ). Even strong and brave men can feel deep sorrow when they lose their families. Hard things can happen suddenly, and we should not think we are safe from trouble just because things seem peaceful. Boast not thyself of to-morrow (Proverbs 27:1 ). If we come home and find everything well, we should thank God for it.

‏ 1 Samuel 30:3

v. 3-4: When David and his men returned after three days, they saw their city in ruins and their families gone (1 Samuel 30:3 ^a). They were so sad that they cried until they had no strength left (1 Samuel 30:4 ^b). Even strong and brave men can feel deep sorrow when they lose their families. Hard things can happen suddenly, and we should not think we are safe from trouble just because things seem peaceful. Boast not thyself of to-morrow (Proverbs 27:1 ^c). If we come home and find everything well, we should thank God for it.
