Teaching David stays calm on the dusty road

When people are unkind to us, we can stay calm and let God take care of it.

  • David's soldiers wanted to fight back, but David stayed calm. Why is it so hard to stay calm when someone is mean to us?
  • David trusted God to handle it instead of yelling back. What could you do the next time someone says something unkind?
  • David believed God might "bring good things instead." How can hard days sometimes turn into something good?
