34. 1 Samuel 23:7-24:22 David & Saul

Saul's open rebellion against God is manifested in his refusal to give up what God has said cannot be his. David is protected once again by Jonathan from Saul's murderous intent. But Saul becomes more active in his pursuit of David.

The future king flees to a Philistine city. He continues to escape from the hand of Saul, and on two occasions spares Saul's life when he has the opportunity to take it. It seems nothing could touch David. God had a specific plan and purpose for him to fulfill and not even the king could hinder that plan!

No matter what you are facing in your life today, God has a plan for you. Find out what it is. Ask Him and He will reveal it to you. No matter how big the obstacle that tries to stand in the way of accomplishing what God has given you to do, He is on your side. Speak to that mountain, in faith, and it will eventually fall. Stay focused on the task at hand and be faithful to follow the light on the path right in front of your feet. As you do, the Lord will reveal more light and more steps to take. It's a marathon, not a sprint. As believers we are in it for the long haul.
