1 Samuel 17:37 "...Go and the Lord be with you."
The story of David and Goliath is just too good to pass up! Even as an adult, I still love this story! David, the boy shepherd pleads with King Saul to allow him to go fight Goliath. Eventually, Saul concedes and says to David, "Go and the Lord be with you."
I thought today I'd see this story through Saul's eyes. His days are numbered as king and he chooses to take a risk on this boy. What was he thinking? His troops must have been skeptical and must have mocked him. Maybe for a moment, Saul was in tune with God's will? Maybe for a moment, he chose to do the right thing and display faith in God? Sometimes God's will doesn't make much sense. But sometimes, when God speaks, or leads, or prompts us, we need to just obey.
Dear Jesus, help me follow your leading this week and obey you at each step. Amen.
