Samuel 19: 4-5
4 And Jonathan spake good of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works have been to thee-ward very good:
5 For he did put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the Lord wrought a great salvation for all Israel: thou sawest it, and didst rejoice: wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?
5 For he did put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the Lord wrought a great salvation for all Israel: thou sawest it, and didst rejoice: wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?
Dearest Sisters,
HAPPY TUESDAY!!!!!
BE ENCOURAGED!!!!!
We will face many trials and tribulations. But, we can confidently face these trials because Christ has overcome the world. Trials can make us weak, weary, frustrated, and teary. We can rest for a while. Yet, we must fight back in the Lord. Tears flowing and hearts aching, we press on. Father, help us! Please forgive our enemies because they know not what they do.
It's so very hard to make sense of trials and attacks, especially when one has done no wrong. Assaults on innocent people always seem completely incomprehensible.
The devil is like a roaring lion. He snarls! He growls! He flashes his teeth! He seeks to steal, kill, and destroy. But, the children of God are off limits to him.
David ministered on his harp unto King Saul when evil spirits vexed him. David defended Saul's kingship and territory by defeating the Philistines. David was King Saul's son-in-law and best friend of his son Jonathan.
David was obedient unto God. David was faithful to King Saul. Because of David's obedience and faithfulness, the Lord rewarded him. Instead of King Saul seeking after and obeying God, he sought rewards by his own hands. His ways failed. Instead of repenting, he became envious of David. Consequently, he sought to kill David rather than follow his wise example.
David never harmed King Saul. But, as evil spirits tormented Saul because of his disobedience, his most faithful, loyal servant and son-in-law became the target of a vicious, blood thirsty, murder campaign. Terrible!
The same evil spirits that tormented King Saul are tormenting ungodly people today. If your loved ones and friends turn on you, it's usually because of evil spirits. Spiritual warfare is 24/7 and it's dreadfully painful when Satan uses those closet to us against us. Sadly, we may lose loved ones and friends, but gratefully, the devil can't touch us because we are covered by the blood of Jesus!
Time and again King Saul sought to kill David. But, time and again the Lord beautifully delivered David out of the hands of his enemy.
Ladies, God never promised that our lives would be free of trials and tribulations. But, He promised to fight our battles! After we have done all that we can, we must stand and watch the Lord see us through.
Psalms 91:4
“He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.”
Love, blessings, and hugs to you and yours
Fight forward
