1Samuel 28-31<\/a><\/p>\nDaily Thought<\/b><\/p>\n
\u201cIn those days the Philistines gathered their forces for war, to fight against Israel\u201d (1Samuel 28:1), marching by hundreds and by thousands according to chapter 29.\u00a0Saul would lose all. By war\u2019s end, he and his three sons were dead. Saul was afraid, so he turned where he seldom turned, to the Lord, but \u201cthe Lord did not answer him, either by dreams, or by Urim, or by prophets\u201d (1Samuel 28:6).<\/p>\n
In Chapter 30, David and his men came to Ziklag, the Amalekites had made a raid, and David found the city burned with fire, and the wives and sons and daughters taken captive, including David\u2019s two wives. David had lost all.\u00a0He was distressed, so he turned where he always turned, to the Lord, and \u201cDavid strengthened himself in the Lord his God\u201d (1Samuel 30:6).<\/p>\n
Saul spoke of \u201cyour God,\u201d David of \u201cmy God.\u201d Each had lost all, but Saul had none left because he had not God to begin with and wallowed in empty silence. From David was taken his city, his family, his possessions, but none could take his God. \u201cDavid strengthened himself in the Lord his God,\u201d turning from earth\u2019s ruin to the riches of heaven. Whatever else I might lose, as long as I have my God I have enough.<\/p>\n
He restores my soul.
\nEven though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
\nI will fear no evil,
\nfor you are with me;
\nyour rod and your staff,
\nthey comfort me. ~A Psalm of David 23:3-4<\/i><\/p>\n
Daily Prayer<\/b><\/p>\n
Everlasting Father, all of hope rests in You. Away from You can only lead to despair and darkness. You are the light of the World. Your Word shines a light on my path and makes my way straight.<\/p>\n
God, daily I will spend time in Your Word. I will put it in my mind and deep in my heart so that it stays with me throughout the day. Thank You for the truth. Your truth. I will build my house on solid ground.<\/p>\n
Amen<\/p>\n
