Like many of us today, David battled discouragement. As a young man, he lived in the shadow of his older brothers. Later, after his anointing, David caught the ire of King Saul, who spent years trying to kill him. When he finally became king, David’s family was such a mess that he was on the run again. So, yes, David knew discouragement! In today’s devotional, Dr. Michael Youssef digs into how David dealt with discouragement.
