Pastor Josh referred to the recent mental health day
A topic on which the Bible actually has much to say
He focused on David, an example of human condition
A character study of the pain and power of desperation
David was identified in First Samuel chapter sixteen
From overlooked lonely shepherd to king, it was seen
Loneliness and persecution are two ways to learn
From Psalm twenty three we see what he did discern
He could trust the Lord no matter what the situation
For God “restoreth my soul” was David’s affirmation
This allowed him to view circumstances differently
And allowing God’s will to prevail, not coincidentally
In David’s loneliness, he experienced what God sent
Including restoration, deliverance, and empowerment
David also learned from his lengthy leadership duration
Overcoming hardships, betrayal, and false accusation
Nonetheless David’s legacy had both lows and highs
Like many, he was seduced by the lust of his eyes
Succumbing to the lust of his flesh with Uriah’s wife
And in the end David submitted to the pride of life
Pastor Josh said from David lessons we should see
From his loneliness, his leadership, and his legacy
Josh said we should never retire from serving God
As one who is vocationally retired, this is a apt prod
