As we open to I Samuel 29, David has survived all that, and even one last commando raid by Saul on David's hideaway in I Samuel 27.
David survived: like a cancer victim that has finally finished the surgery, chemo, and radiation; and finally is declared cancer free. David was weak, but David had made it out of the woods, and life has returned to what it was like before all these months and years of fear, turmoil and struggle. What a pathway those days had been. Do you remember what David had gone through?
After being captured and held by the Philistines, betrayed and nearly hunted to death by traitors from his own tribe, surviving month after month of murderous commando raids led against him by his own father-in-law, and enduring all the emotional damage that job loss, anxiety and frustration could exact from him: the Lord allows David's life to even out.

"David recovered all." Well, the text you used WAS incredibly encouraging. I did appreciate the warm up and I am very sorry I wasn't polite in my last comment. I'll try watching the video version or looking at the attached PDF if need be.

This sermon was cut short!! Great walk through 2 Sam. 18-30 and through some Psalms but then POOF no more sermon. I'm there, Brother... here, in Ziklag more ways than you could ever know and then your sermon cuts off. No application. No rescue. What's the point? Poof. Yes. Yes. I know: "Go strengthen yourself in the Lord, Sister." v. 6. Uh-huh. Fine. Your sermon had potential, just like the LAME-o-churches here in China, I mean SW Michigan. Fix it.
Please.
