Life will always bring circumstances and situations that we have to navigate through. Regardless of your faith, favor, and even family, things will occur frequently and without warning. Many, however, become frustrated because of the persistent and consistent hardships and difficulties. This leads to many to ask the famous question, “Now What?”
Are you experiencing a “Now What?” moment in your walk with God. Rather than situations getting better, they seem to be getting worse? Just know, however, that there is an answer to the question at hand. Instead of falling into the snare of thinking that “Now What?” will mean more problems, begin to trust that “Now What?” will result in God’s deliverance, peace, and power being evident in your present circumstance - that is the “What” which will be next. “Now What?” - God will demonstrate His power and faithfulness and you will come out victorious.

David was in a bad situation. His own son, Absalom had orchestrated a revolt and planned to take over the kingdom. Thus, David found himself out of palace because of this.
And David said unto all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee; for we shall not else escape from Absalom. 2 Sam 15:14 (KJV)
Are you in a situation today where you have been moved from your “palace?” Palace being your place of peace, rest, and purpose. David was out of his place because of past doings. Has things of your past forced you out of your palace? Well there is hope. We know that David was restored to his palace because God’s promise to him still stood regardless. And his son was hung by his own head.
Just know that whatever (past, guilt, shame, lies of the enemy, hurts) has forced you out of your “palace” will hang itself. Understand that the promises of God are upon you. If David was restored, so shall you also. Remember, you may be out of the palace, but never out of promise.
