I have hidden Thy word in my heart.

1 Samuel 26. “So David and Abishai came to the people by night; and there Saul lay sleeping within the camp, with his spear stuck in the ground by his head. And Abner and the people lay all around him. Then Abishai said to David, ‘God has delivered your enemy into your hand this day. Now therefore, please, let me strike him at once with the spear, right to the earth; and I will not have to strike him a second time!’ But David said to Abishai, ‘Do not destroy him; for who can stretch out his hand against the Lord’s anointed, and be guiltless?’ David said furthermore, ‘As the Lord lives, the Lord shall strike him, or his day shall come to die, or he shall go out to battle and perish'” (Verses 7-10). Saul, Saul, what is your malfunction sir? He is chasing David to kill him, yet he goes to sleep. Who sleeps during battle? Twice. Twice God  delivers Saul into David’s hands with no one to rescue him, save David’s desire to serve the Lord righteously. What’s my point. Sometimes we are presented with the easy way out, so easy it feels like the right thing to do. I asked myself this question, “if I was in the same position as David, would I have spared Saul?” I am not sure I would have, I would have probably seen it as God providing a way of escape. What David has taught me, was that it not about the “easy way” it is about “God’s way”. Hold out don’t give into the “easy” wait for GOD.
