Wherefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he was afraid of him. -1 Samuel 18:15.
Good morning and happy Monday to you! The phrase “behaved himself very wisely” should serve as a conviction for all of us. Many times, we are guilty of not behaving ourselves wisely.
In this story, Saul attempted to kill David on several occasions, but David remained silent. Instead, he accepted Saul’s offer of kingship wisely. How many times have you recognized that the intentions of someone you are close to, even those who may have been hostile to you, are not necessarily meant for your benefit?
That person could be your spiritual leader, your friend-nemesis, or even a family member. We are not judged by what others do, but by our own actions. Whether it’s retaliation or choosing to bless those who mistreat us, our reactions are scrutinized by the Lord.
David’s reaction of obedience was evident when Saul saw him. Saul was confused and his fear only grew.
When you walk in righteousness, evil fears you. Beloved, walk in what is right, regardless of how others treat and react towards you.
