TODAY’S TOPIC: The enemy and pay back time
Text: 1Samuel 26:13-25 (NIV):
"26:13 Then David crossed over to the other side and stood on top of the hill some distance away; there was a wide space between them.
26:14 He called out to the army and to Abner son of Ner, "Aren't you going to answer me, Abner?" Abner replied, "Who are you who calls to the king?"
26:15 David said, "You're a man, aren't you? And who is like you in Israel? Why didn't you guard your lord the king? Someone came to destroy your lord the king.
26:16 What you have done is not good. As surely as the LORD lives, you and your men deserve to die, because you did not guard your master, the LORD'S anointed. Look around you. Where are the king's spear and water jug that were near his head?"
26:17 Saul recognized David's voice and said, "Is that your voice, David my son?" David replied, "Yes it is, my lord the king."
26:18 And he added, "Why is my lord pursuing his servant? What have I done, and what wrong am I guilty of?
26:19 Now let my lord the king listen to his servant's words. If the LORD has incited you against me, then may he accept an offering. If, however, men have done it, may they be cursed before the LORD! They have now driven me from my share in the LORD'S inheritance and have said, 'Go, serve other gods.'
26:20 Now do not let my blood fall to the ground far from the presence of the LORD. The king of Israel has come out to look for a flea--as one hunts a partridge in the mountains."
26:21 Then Saul said, "I have sinned. Come back, David my son. Because you considered my life precious today, I will not try to harm you again. Surely I have acted like a fool and have erred greatly."
26:22 "Here is the king's spear," David answered. "Let one of your young men come over and get it.
26:23 The LORD rewards every man for his righteousness and faithfulness. The LORD delivered you into my hands today, but I would not lay a hand on the LORD'S anointed.
26:24 As surely as I valued your life today, so may the LORD value my life and deliver me from all trouble."26:25Then Saul said to David, "May you be blessed, my son David; you will do great things and surely triumph." So David went on his way, and Saul returned home.
*SHOWER:*
When one is in Christ he will be unstoppable. Sometimes we regard certain people as our enemies; then pray, execute evil or sponsor evil. But here is David. When God committed Saul unto His hand, he (David) declined from killing him. We must be ready and prepare to face this kind of test. No one should be your enemy expecially in academic.
