Bible Reference: 1 Samuel 24:12
“May the LORD judge between me and you! May the LORD take vengeance on you for me, but I won’t lift a hand against you.”
1 Samuel 24:12 CEB
Introduction:
Today, we shall use the model of how David confronted his unrelenting issues to confront ours.
Read up on David from 1 Samuel.
David was chosen by God to be replacement for King Saul. It was his Divine destiny.
David was in no way responsible for Saul’s fall from grace. But that did not stop Saul from seeking to kill David.
Can you envision the situation David was in? A young lad being hunted down by the president and head of the armed forces and all other security agencies.
There were informants everywhere. There was no hole he could hide in other than the forest and caves .
Well, that was familiar territory for David.
As a shepherd boy, David knew the best hiding places that the kings guerrillas did not know of. Even though anointed King already by God, he was on the run for his life.
Eventually his family too had to run to him too because of constant harassment from the kings men.
And yet, when David had the opportunity to kill the king and take the throne, he would not.
Instead, he repented of even thinking such foul thoughts and appealed to the Righteous Judge of the universe to intervene in his circumstances.
David cried out saying;
“May the Lord judge between me and you; and may the Lord avenge me on you; but my hand shall not be against you.”(1 Samuel 24:12 AMP)
