TODAY’S VERSE
The LORD forbid that I should do this to my lord the king and attack the LORD’s anointed one, for the LORD himself has chosen him.
I Samuel 24:6 (NLT)
TODAY’S THOUGHT
I am amazed at David’s faith and trust in God. To me, this is one of the most amazing stories in the Bible. Here was David running from King Saul, hiding in caves, and when the opportunity presented itself and King Saul went alone into the same cave David and his men were staying in, David did not attack the King. Even after his men, his faithful comrades who were with him through all his struggles saw this as a gift from God and beseeched David to strike Saul dead, all David did was cut a piece of the hem from Saul’s robe when Saul wasn’t looking. When asked why he did not kill Saul, David replied, “The Lord forbid that I should do this to my lord the king and attack the Lord’s anointed one, for the Lord himself has chosen him.” David trusted God. He knew that God allowed Saul to be King, and without word from God, David would not take justice into His own hands. He trusted God to work it all out. That kind of faith takes courage. It takes a deep belief in the love of God. It takes a personal belief in God’s provision in God’s own time. That is the kind of faith David had. When circumstances come our way that challenge us deep to the core, might God help us have that kind of faith, too.
TODAY’S PRAYER
Father, I want a deep faith like David. Help me know You more deeply and personally so I, too, will choose to trust You in my struggles.
AMEN
