1 Samuel Twenty-Seven

"David lived in Philistine territory a year and four months."
----- 1 Samuel 27:7

This is a good time to remind you that David is a complete human being. He has assets and liabilities just like everyone. Here we see him in a weak moment. His faith in God's provision appears to not be as strong as in previous chapters. He decides to create some extra space between him and Saul by traveling into the land of the Philistines. If he could have waited just another 16 months. Saul would be dead and he could have saved himself the embarrassment of going to the Philistines for help.

At times when your faith is weak be aware of the decisions you are making. Are you making decisions based on fear? Fear can paralyze your growth. Decisions based on fear can cause more trouble than intended.

BUT, God was not done with David. He is about to enter into an incredible new chapter in his life. When your faith is weak know this, GOD IS NOT DONE WITH YOU EITHER!!!

"Father, help me become stronger for You."
