    Yahweh opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, "What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?" Balaam said to the donkey, "Because you have mocked me, I wish there were a sword in my hand, for now I would have killed you." The donkey said to Balaam, "Am I not yo...

    Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of his chariots, saying, "Don't fight with small nor great, except only with the king of Israel." When the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they said, "It is the king of Israel!" Therefore they turned around to fight against him. But Jehoshap...

Living Right When Wronged

  • 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 WEB.

    King Saul became jealous of his son-in-law David who had become very popular with the people. Completely consumed by rage, he attempted to murder David with a spear, but David evaded him and left the city. King Saul became an evil man. Though he had refused to kill all the Amalekites when the Lord asked him to (1 Samuel 15:9), he was fine with wiping out the Lord's priests, their families, and their livestock (1 Samuel 22:19).

    Once David literally caught Saul with his trousers down. The men with David in the cave thought it was a gift from God. Here was Saul on a platter, but David spared his life (1 Samuel 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 won't have to strike him twice" (1 Samuel 26:8), but again David spared Saul's life.

    David had an opportunity to kill Saul time after time, but he refrained. David was a better man, and because of the calling on his life, he wouldn't stoop to Saul's level. David had killed thousands of men in battle, including the giant Goliath. He certainly wasn't afraid of Saul. David wanted to do the right thing. He wanted to please God, and he wouldn't harm the one that God had anointed as king. Instead, he waited on God to make things right. The day finally came when God removed Saul, and David replaced him as king.

    God sees what you are going through, and He has an amazing memory. His delay is not His denial. So don't stoop to your enemies' level. Because of your calling, you need to take the high ground. In time, God will make things right. Two wrongs will never equal right, but right will always be right.

    Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank You for waking me up this day. Please give me the grace to overcome, the wisdom to make the right decisions, and the strength to stand strong when all the winds blow against me. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!

    Note: For those following the Creation Photography weekly challenges, group leader, Dianna Wyles: Luke 12:27-28 'Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you'you of little faith!" ~ 'April Showers Bring Mud Puddles and May Flowers' will be our next fun-filled theme and as always is open wide for your creative twist so have fun and take some pictures. What has April's weather brought for you in your little corner of our big beautiful world? I'm interested in seeing! Enjoy your week everyone, and consider the wisdom of the wildflowers ~ God bless!
