This morning as we’re doing our devotion, this thing came to mind. How life of David and Saul such a big contrast.<\/p>\n
At the end of 1 Samuel, Saul is pictured as a man who lost his strength<\/p>\n
“Then Saul fell at once full length on the ground, filled with fear because of the words of Samuel. And there was no\u00a0strength<\/em>\u00a0in him, for he had eaten nothing all day and all night.” ~ 1 Sam 28 : 20 ~<\/p>\n … And insted recovering back his strength … he lost it further, at point of return when he seek a medium which lead to his death at the end of 1 Samuel.<\/p>\n David on the other hand, also lost his strength, in tragedy to find that his wives were kidnapped upon arriving home. And his entire town was burned with fire.<\/p>\n “Then David and the people who were with him raised their voices and wept until they had no more\u00a0strength<\/em>\u00a0to weep.” ~ 1 Sam 30 : 4 ~<\/p>\n However, a very short verse describe the turning point for David, and the entire course..<\/p>\n “But David found\u00a0strength<\/em>\u00a0in the LORD his God.” ~ 1 Sam 30 : 6b ~<\/p>\n David found strength in the LORD, his God. I think that’s the biggest lesson i learnt from all the dramas. One man seek strength by his own, and he never gain it back. The other man lost his strength and seek his God, and he found it there. It’s so comforting to know that God alone is enough. Situation can be very bad (like this man David, he lost everything, even his people wanting to stone him … ), yet somehow, unknown to human mind, God is able to give strength greater than the situation, to turn around the situation to victory. It’s not David’s greatness or cleverness or abilities … but the LORD who gives strength. Seek Him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This morning as we’re doing our devotion, this thing came to mind. How life of David and Saul such a big contrast.
