“But a messenger came to Saul, saying, ‘Hurry and come, for
the Philistines have invaded the land.’”
1 Samuel 23:27
Saul was still hunting David down
and trying to take his life. David was in the Wilderness of Moan. Saul went to
one side of the mountain. David and his men were on the other side of the
mountain trying to get away from him. Saul and his men began to encircle around
David to trap him. Just at that time a messenger came to Saul. They told Saul
that the Philistines had invaded the land. This made Saul fearful so he stopped
trying to pursue David as soon as he heard this report. He and his men turned
and left. The Philistines were the primary enemies of God’s people at this
point of history. In God’s sovereignty, God used the Philistines to rescue His
servant David. He can do the same for us in this day and age too. He can use
those that walk in darkness and/or those that are His enemies to save and
rescue us and provide us with a way of escape. He is God and He can use all
things. Thank God for His sovereignty, love and power. We are so blessed!
Father, we thank You for Your sovereignty. We thank You
that You can use all sorts of people to rescue and help Your people, even those
that walk in darkness and/or are Your enemies. You are a good God and You have
our best interests at heart. Thank You, Lord, for everything. In Jesus’ name we
pray. Amen.
