We see David running to a wasteland, and the enemy continues to haunt him by Saul perusing him. In our own lives, sometimes we feel like we are in a wasteland and our enemy stirs up people against us even when we are doing nothing wrong.
Sometimes when the battle we are in feels like too much, we need to stop and realize that the battle is not our own. We are not in control of it, and we are fighting not in only in our flesh but in our spirit. How will we behave in our own battles? Will we trust in our God to fight for us. Or will we fight our battles in our own strength?

Each one of is is facing a different battle in our lives and a lot of us are tired. As we explore this chapter, we see David is fighting his battles and he's tired. God is sustaining him but more trails keep coming his way.
As we look at David's example, we see when faced with the difficulties of life, he faithfully runs to God first. Where do you run when you have problems and trials? Are you running to God, or are you running to others? Do you rely on God for strength, or do you rely on yourself?
