David and his men were attacked, their town was burned, and their families were taken. Though exhausted and weeping, David found strength in God. He prayed and God assured him of victory. David pursued the attackers and won a battle that lasted from dusk to the next evening, recovering everything that was taken. The victory showed that God is the ultimate provider, protector, and overcome of battles. When facing difficulties, believers must remain spiritually close to God to find strength and guidance to fight and emerge victorious.
