And Saul said, I will give him her, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Wherefore Saul said to David, Thou shalt this day be my son in law in the one of the twain. -1 Samuel 18:21

Good morning and tremendous Tuesday to you! Anyone remember the story of the Trojan Horse? In the story, the enemy hid in what appeared to be a gift. The exterior was beautiful, resembling a new trophy.

A trophy that the city of Troy might have thought was a sign of their enemies’ surrender. The enemy had tried and seemingly failed, giving into the city of Troy and seemingly departing, leaving a gift.

Troy accepted and embraced that gift, just as Saul hoped David would accept what had been offered to destroy him. In the scripture above, it is known that the King had decided to “gift” David his daughter. She was to be the enemy within the faux kindness that was the name of the Trojan Horse.

Beloved, the enemy often uses the Trojan Horse method on us. He decorates trash that, if only we would stop to look, would reveal itself.

The purpose of the gift is to get inside and slowly destroy. Saul’s intent is not an oddity, as many seek to slip in hidden by ribbons and bows that represent the Trojan Horse. Once removed, the enemy is revealed. Beloved, a full but currently in use trashcan that is clean on the outside harbors trash or the enemy within.
