1 SAMUEL 23:1-13 (How God Guides His Anointed) || Matthew HOBBS CALVARY CHAPEL MAIDSTONE

    • Kristendom

The Philistines are raiding the Israeli city of Keilah!

David hears the report of their plight and inquires of the Lord whether he and his band of 600 men should go to their aid.

The Lord bids him go and assures him of victory.

Saul, on the other hand, hears that David is Keilah, and with a mind to rid himself of David, marshalls his armies for Keilah too.

A showdown at Keilah between David and Saul seems inevitable, yet the Lord is with David and he flees to the wilderness of Ziph before Saul arrives.

Within this account we see how the Lord works in the life of David, the anointed of God.

Every born-again believer is also anointed of God, according to 2 Corinthians 2:21-22.

As such, the lessons that David learns at Keilah are lessons for us to learn to day as well.
