2012 THEME
"Transcending The
Challenges Of Adversity"
This year's theme is taking from ! Samuel 30:1-8
"FOR THOU SHALT SURELY OVERTAKE AND WITHOUT FAIL RECOVER ALL". Then David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, "Please bring me the ephod." So Abiathar brought the ephod to David. And David inquired of the LORD, saying, "Shall I pursue this band? Shall I overtake them?" And He said to him, "Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them, and you shall surely rescue all."
Not since chapter 23 has David sought God's will by means of the ephod, and not since chapter 26 has he mentioned the name of the Lord. As is often the case, tragedy turns David's heart toward the Lord. This chapter is another one of David's finest hours. David first strengthens himself in the Lord, and then He turns to the Lord for specific guidance concerning their families and those who have kidnapped them. David asks the Lord to reveal whether he should pursue those who have taken their loved ones. Will he overtake them if he does pursue them? The answer to these questions is "Yes!" God assures David he will not only overtake this band, but he will also completely rescue all that has been taken.
