It may be hard to understand why God allows us to face certain challenges and hardships. Why would He allow David, as a mere teenager, to be confronted with dangerous predators? Wouldn’t it have been better to shelter and preserve him for the purpose He had for his life? As Pastor Mark points out in today’s message, God used those challenges to prepare David for greater challenges to come. God does not just coddle us and shelter us. He allows those trials to come because He knows that they will force us into situations where we can learn to place our confidence in Him instead of our own strength.
