What to do when Ziklag Burns

May 18, 2025    Clay Carlson

When David lost everything at Ziklag—his home, his family, and the support of his own men—he didn’t give up. Instead, “David encouraged himself in the LORD his God” (1 Samuel 30:6 KJV). This sermon teaches how to respond when life burns down around you: by looking up to God, relying on His Word, requesting His help in prayer, and obeying His leading. When we choose faith over fear and action over despair, God still gives victory—even when everything seems lost.
