~ David In A King’s Palace ~
Series
Note ~ God
often allows His children to be in difficult circumstances. Many of my readers are in difficult
circumstances as they read this post.
But our God is faithful never allowing us to be faced with a bigger
situation than we are capable of handling with God’s help.
In this
series we look a few of the many examples in Scripture where God placed one of
His own in a difficult spot yet they remained faithful to God. If you are in a tight situation, be thankful
that God has entrusted you with that responsibility.
Scripture
~ “No temptation has overtaken
you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow
you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also
make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it” (1 Corinthians
10:13).
Tough Spot
~ “But the
Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and a distressing spirit from the Lord
troubled him. And Saul’s servants
said to him, ‘Surely, a distressing spirit from God is troubling you. Let our master now command your servants, who
are before you, to seek out a man who is a skillful player on the harp. And it shall be that he will play it with his
hand when the distressing spirit from God is upon you, and you shall be
well.’ So Saul said to his
servants, ‘Provide me now a man who can
play well, and bring him to me.’
“Then
one of the servants answered and said, ‘Look, I have seen a son of Jesse the
Bethlehemite, who is skillful in playing, a mighty man of valor, a man of war,
prudent in speech, and a handsome person; and the Lord is with him.’
“Therefore
Saul sent messengers to Jesse, and said, ‘Send me your son David, who is
with the sheep.’ And Jesse took a
donkey loaded with bread, a skin of wine, and a young goat, and sent them by
his son David to Saul. So David came to
Saul and stood before him. And he loved
him greatly, and he became his armorbearer.
Then Saul sent to Jesse, saying, ‘Please let David stand before me, for
he has found favor in my sight.’ And so
it was, whenever the spirit from God was upon Saul, that David would take a
harp and play it with his hand. Then
Saul would become refreshed and well, and the distressing spirit would depart
from him.” (1 Samuel 16:14-23).
