Afraid
14. July 2009 by Bernice Davis.
Hello:
Our text for today is as follows:
I Samuel 18:12 Saul was afraid of David, because the Lord was with David but had left Saul. 13 So he sent David away from him and gave him command over a thousand men, and David led the troops in their campaigns. 14 In everything he did he had great success, because the Lord was with him. 15 When Saul saw how successful he was, he was afraid of him. 16 But all
In our text today, we see the constant animosity building towards David from Saul. Saul was afraid of David because the Lord was with David but had left Saul. Saul saw David prospering in whatever he did and recognized that it was the anointing of God and became jealous. This is such a common scenario in the body of Christ.
When a person has had their season and whether they messed it up (in Saul’s case) or the Lord is simply doing something different, those people usually try to tear down the person that God now has in the limelight.If you do not have a right attitude about the work of God then one of the most difficult things to watch is to see God use someone to even do a better job than you did. We take things too personally.
All the people that I mentor in the scriptures, it is my desire that they far succeed the knowledge that I have and that God would do greater things with them that I could even imagine that he would do with me. I simply want to see God get the glory in this earth and I could care less if I get the credit as long as I can simply help whether I’m recognized for it or not. I have helped so many people develop sermons and prepare for speaking engagements and they do phenomenal jobs and I am never mentioned as being the one accredited for helping them prepare but I am so proud of them and how well they did and how many people were blessed, healed, restored, and saved and I am so grateful to God that I had a part in it whether the world will ever find out or not. The only thing that really matters is God knows. The bible says that when it is done in secret to the glory of God then it is God who will eventually reward you openly.
Tomorrow, we will continue to watch Saul’s strategy on his attempts to destroy David. Be content with the plan of God for your life. It really is a great one.
For all of you that are in the
God bless you all and don’t forget to pray and read God’s word daily.
