2 Chronicles 20:15
Have you ever felt overwhelmed by something you couldn’t fix? King Saul’s torment shows what happens when God’s presence is absent—his mind is restless, his peace shattered. Into that chaos walks David, a young shepherd with a harp, bringing not a sword, but a song. His music doesn’t just soothe Saul; it shifts the spiritual atmosphere. God used David’s gift not to change the circumstance but to calm the storm within it. In our world of loud problems and anxious hearts, we often want God to remove the issue entirely. But sometimes, He sends someone—or something—to bring peace in the middle of the struggle. Your “harp” might be a phone call, a prayer, or a kind word. Don’t underestimate how God can use small things to calm big storms. You don’t fight alone. He is with you—and His peace is your strength.
