DAILY SHOWER June 26, 2022 Devotion and Declarations
Prayer before the Word:
_ O God, unto You I submit my soul. Help me to know You more in Jesus name, Amen_
TODAY’S TOPIC: Never rejoice over the fall of your enemy
Text: 1 Samuel 11-16 (NIV):
"1:11. Then David and all the men with him took hold of their clothes and tore them.
1:12. They mourned and wept and fasted till evening for Saul and his son Jonathan, and for the army of the LORD and the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.
1:13. David said to the young man who brought him the report, "Where are you from?" "I am the son of an alien, an Amalekite," he answered.
1:14. David asked him, "Why were you not afraid to lift your hand to destroy the LORD'S anointed?"
1:15. Then David called one of his men and said, "Go, strike him down!" So he struck him down, and he died.
1:16. For David had said to him, "Your blood be on your own head. Your own mouth testified against you when you said, 'I killed the LORD'S anointed.'"
SHOWER (Reflection):
When someone makes self an enemy, don't try to retaliate. Because if you do, you may overdo it or go below average. But if you allow God to take charge, He will pay the person accordingly. God can also decide not to pay the person evil to evil, and through that glorify His name. He is the author and finisher of our faith. David promised not to lay hands on the God's anointed (King Saul) even when Saul was after his death. Even unto death, he still paid the young man who killed him back. And God used because of all these to strengthen his faith and protect him against the evil eyes. Try this today, and remain bless.
