David was not having a good day. ‘I am restless in my complaint and moan noisily, because of the voice of the enemy…My heart is severely pained within me and the terrors of death have fallen upon me…fearfulness and trembling have come upon me’ David’s first reaction? ‘Get me out of here’...’Oh that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest...I would remain in the wilderness. I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.’ When I was young, some Christians used to say something that disturbed me—and I was not quite sure why. They would say when difficulties came someone’s way. “God won’t give you anything that’s too hard for you to handle” (or words to that effect). I think it was very loosely based on 1 Cor. 10:13. The one thing they did have correct was the understanding that God gives, or allots, things. On another occasion David said ‘the lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Yes, I have a good inheritance’ (Psalm 16:6) and it carries the same idea…Someone allots our Lot!
