*TOPIC: WHAT DO YOU STAND TO GAIN?*(Series 4)
*Scripture Reading:* 1 Samuel 19:9-10
*"Then an evil spirit from the Lord came on Saul as he was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand, and David was playing the harp with his hand. Saul tried to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he escaped from Saul’s presence, so that Saul only stuck the spear into the wall. Then David fled and escaped that night."*(AMP)
From yesterday teaching, we could see what motivated David and at the same time Saul.
Let me show you briefly how we see that David was a man after God’s own heart, and Saul was a man of selfishness.
Lesson 1: David was motivated by a Love for God and Saul was motivated by what he could get from God. Just as majority of christian today whose love for God is base on what they will get from Him.
: Lets look at David first:
I Sam 18:10 says, *“The next day an evil spirit from God came forcefully upon Saul. He was prophesying in his house, while David was playing the harp, as he usually did. Saul had a spear in his hand and he hurled it, saying to himself, I’ll pin David to the wall. But David eluded him twice”* Now if that would not have been an intense moment in life, look at what happens further as we read:
I Sam 19:9-11 says, *“But an evil spirit from the Lord came upon Saul as he was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand. While David was playing the harp, Saul tried to pin him to the wall with his spear, but David eluded him as Saul drove the spear into the wall. That night David made good his escape.”* It was David’s desire to do the Lord’s will, and not his own. It was God’s will that David be where he was, playing for the King and not tending sheep.
*My question is, why would David still desire to go back to king Saul, knowing that there is that much tension in Saul’s house?* The love of God. Doing the will of God, loving your enemies and praying for those who spitefully use you. To be continue tomorrow morning by God's Grace. Good morning and do have a fruitful Friday, peace.
*Prayer point:* Holy Spirit, help me in doing your will always in Jesus Christ name. Amen!
