This is for someone today!
For a long time David was kept in continual apprehension of ATTACK by the hand of Saul, yet he persevered in meek & respectful behavior towards his persecutor.
How UNCOMMON is such prudence & discretion, especially under insults & constant provoking!
Ask yourself if you IMITATE this character when you are being slandered & crucified by the polls of ignorance & all you can do is stand in integrity with your mouth closed.
Are you behaving WISELY in all your WAYS? Search your heart to see if there is no sinful omission, no rashness of spirit or nothing wrong in your conduct.
Opposition & perverseness in OTHERS, does not excuse wrong tempers in US, but should increase our care & attention to the duties of our position.
"Consider Him that endured contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be weary and faint in your minds," Hebrews 12:3.
If David magnified the HONOR of being son-in-law to king Saul, how should we magnify the honor of being sons to the KING OF KINGS!
Hold steady & watch what God is about to do.
