“Trust God”
In 2 Samuel
22-23, we find David running from Saul.
In 22:1 David gives credit to God for delivering him from the hands of
his enemies. It is interesting to note
that King Saul could not find David.
This brings to mind two great truths.
1)
With all his resources, Saul could not find
David. Saul was the king and had
everything at his disposal. He had the
army, advisors, spies, and those who disliked David as much as he did, but he
couldn’t find him. David also had help
to elude the king. He had the resources
of God, the king of the universe. There
was no contest here and David was aware of that, prompting him to praise God
for all He did to help him.
2)
When David was in the cave, he had the
opportunity to kill Saul, but he didn’t.
He said Saul was the anointed of God and he could do him no harm. In 2 Samuel 1, David is talking with an
Amalekite who said that he had killed Saul.
David’s comment to the man was, “How was thou not afraid to put forth
thy hand to destroy Jehovah’s anointed?”
David respected Saul because God had made him king. It is unfortunate that Saul didn’t return
that respect.
In 2 Samuel, we learn to trust
God in everything and have respect for what God has put in place, and if we
follow Him we too will be called people after God’s own heart.
