· 2 Samuel chapter 22 – nearly identical to Psalm 18.
· 2 Samuel 23:39 – look who's listed among David's Mighty Men – Uriah the Hittite. He was the husband of Bathsheba.

Sermon Highlights
The causes of our suffering:
· Sometimes our suffering is the result of natural consequences to our actions or the actions of others.
· Sometimes our suffering is the result of God allowing Satan to test/tempt/try us.
· Sometimes our suffering is the result of God chastening us or trying to get our attention.
As we draw closer to God through our suffering, we will fulfill God's purposes and frustrate Satan's plans.
