How To Read God’s Providence. Part [4] 01/08/2026 (Morning thought)

1st Samuel 19:16 And when the messengers were come in, behold, there was an image in the bed, with a pillow of goats' hair for his bolster.

1st Samuel 19:18 So David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth. 19 And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah. 20 And Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as appointed over them, the Spirit of God was upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.

1st Samuel 19:21 And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers and they prophesied likewise. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they prophesied also. 22 Then went he also to Ramah, and came to a great well that is in Sechu: and he asked and said, where are Samuel and David? And one said, Behold, they be at Naioth in Ramah.

A very disturbing commentary is written by the pen of inspiration about this particular intervention, for when it came to crunch time, and it finally became necessary for God to exercise raw power in behalf of David, He did and He will do it again when the going gets rough in our day, but only when it will become necessary.

1st Samuel 19:23 And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah: and the Spirit of God was upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

How To Read God’s Providence. Part [3] 01/08/2026 (Evening thought)

1st Samuel 19:10 And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the javelin: but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he smote the javelin into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night.

Be very careful of what you do in panic mode! Be very careful of what decisions you make in panic mode! Several bad moves are what took place when David fled for safety from Saul. At that time, David went into panic mode as Saul was hot on his heels. God, through Samuel had told him directly that he would be king, twice Saul had hurled a javelin at David to pin him to the wall, and twice God delivered him.

On numerous occasions, God had demonstrated the fact that He is capable of defeating everything satan threw at David. And in addition to these undeniable interventions, when it seems as if there was no way out, and that Saul had finally cornered David, God had issued a restraining order through the power of The Holy Spirit, whereby by Saul was incapacitated in his efforts to slay David.

1st Samuel 19:11 Saul also sent messengers unto David's house, to watch him and slay him in the morning: and Michal David's wife told him, saying, if thou save not thy life to night, tomorrow thou shalt be slain. 12 So Michal let David down through a window: and he went, and fled, and escaped. 13 And Michal took an image, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats' hair for his bolster, and covered it with a cloth.

1st Samuel 19:14 And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, he is sick. 15 And Saul sent the messengers again to see David, saying, bring him up to me in the bed, that I may slay him.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
