1 Samuel 23 – Pastor Mac Daily DEVO

Saul went on one side of the mountain, and David and his men on the other side of the mountain. And David was hurrying to get away from Saul. As Saul and his men were closing in on David and his men to capture them,²⁷ a messenger came to Saul, saying, “Hurry and come, for the Philistines have made a raid against the land.” ²⁸ So Saul returned from pursuing after David and went against the Philistines. Therefore that place was called the Rock of Escape. 1 Samuel 23:26-26 – While running from Saul, David found himself the closest to being captured up to this point. Saul and his crew were on one side of a mountain (more likely just a large hill) and David and his crew on the other. The gap between was closing, when suddenly a messenger shows up and brings a message that completely redirects Saul and David escapes. Coincidence? Not a chance, this was all heavenly blessing and protection. Know you may hear your enemy on the other side of the mounting getting closer to you. You may feel as if all is lost and the defeat you’ve been avoiding is now at your doorstep. If though God is leading you and you are seeking at faithful life after Him, you have nothing to fear from any enemy. As God provided for David, He’ll provide for you. God will make straight your paths, and He will provide for you even in the midst of your enemies. So do not fear when the enemy’s footsteps are heard behind you and the escape seems gone. If God is for us, who can be against us? I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 2900

Question To Ponder: How have you seen God provide help for you in a way you didn’t expect?
