What can we learn from King David?
Many things can be learned from King David. Among them is the ability to encourage ourselves in the Lord. The setting is one of joy that David and his men have been relieved of any obligation to Achish, king of Gath. David had sought refuge from Saul in the land of the Philistines twice. The first time (1 Samuel 21:10), the servants of Achish spake against David; and, in fear of what might happen, David “feigned himself mad” in their hands. Achish speaks as though his servants had been foolish to bring David to him and dismisses David, saying, “Have I need of mad men, that ye have brought this fellow to play the mad man in my presence?”
What does Paul say about faith?
The Apostle Paul’s admonition to those who have received the faith of the Lord Jesus Christ is a reminder: “Grace unto you , and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.” It is essential for us to accept Christ as our Saviour. Our eternal destiny rests upon that act. But, it is also necessary that we grow in our faith. Paul writes, “We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth; so that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure.”
