Saul sought to pin David to the wall with the spear; but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he stuck the spear into the wall. David fled, and escaped that night. 1 Samuel 19:10 WEBKing Saul was jealous of his son-in-law David. Completely consumed by rage, he attempted to murder David with a spear. David evaded him and left the city. Saul became an evil man, and though he refused to kill all the Amalekites when the Lord asked him to (1Samuel 15:9), he was fine with completely wiping out the Lord's priests, their families, and their livestock (1Samuel 22:19).
Once when David literally caught Saul with his trousers down, the men with him in the cave were excited and thought this was a gift from God, Saul on a platter, but David spared him (1Samuel 24:4). Another time David and Abishai crept up on Saul while he was sleeping and took his spear. Abishai wanted to finish the job and pin Saul to the ground, saying, 'I will not have to strike him twice' (1Samuel 26:8).
Time after time, David was given the opportunity to kill Saul, but he refrained. David was a better man, and because of the calling on his life, he would not stoop to Saul's level. David had killed thousands of men in battle, including Goliath. He was certainly not afraid of Saul. David wanted to do the right thing. He wanted to please God and would not harm the one that God had anointed as king. Instead he waited on God. The day finally came when God made it right, and David became the king.
Don't stoop to your enemies' level. Because of the calling on your life, you need to take the high ground. In time, God will make it right. Two wrongs will never equal right, but right will always be right. God sees the things that you are going through and He has an amazing memory. God's delay is not His denial.

Thank you for this dvotional Pastor. Have been struggling in this area for being wronged since last month. I know I can get even by the ways of the world but deep down also know that God alone is my judge n vindicator. And as you rightly siad...we should not get down to the enenmy's level.
I am waiting upon His deliverance even though it is very difficult to just wait. But thanks to His grace am able to pull on.
Please pray for me to keep the faith and let God fight my battle for me.
Praying for you to stay strong in this time of testing, stay the course and don't give up, the Lord is with you, and He will answer in His time !
Amen!!
Many times in life I was wronged and I asked God Why. But then my aunt told me one day that if Jesus had to bare his cross in life that I would have to bare mine. I sometimes thought that things would not get back right in my life. But for some reason things always seemed to turn around for me and my life would somehow get better. God presented himself to me early in my teen years and I am grasteful for that. God has spoken to me over the years and I listened. I love God and I believe that his power is infinite and Divine. God can perform miracles in our lives and he has in mine. I thank God for his love and compassion. Thank you Pastor Dion for this daily devotional.
