David: Portrait of a Champion, Part 9

In Champions Know When to Lean on God, Dr. Michael Youssef brings us to one of David’s darkest hours—a moment of brokenness at Ziklag. When David turned from God’s will and relied on his own logic, he reaped the painful consequences of disobedience. But God, in His mercy, used the ashes of Ziklag to bring David to repentance. This episode powerfully reveals that true champions are not those who never fail, but those who return to the Lord in brokenness and humility. Dr. Youssef warns that sin always brings consequences, but God’s love never fails. The believer must confess, forsake sin, and once again inquire of the Lord. Only then can restoration begin.
