The Kitchen Table Devotional
David Day 104
But one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped and fled after David. 21 And Abiathar told David that Saul had killed the priests of the LORD. 22 And David said to Abiathar, “I knew on that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul. I have occasioned the death of all the persons of your father’s house. 23 Stay with me; do not be afraid, for he who seeks my life seeks your life. With me you shall be in safekeeping.”
1 Samuel 22:20-23
A principle in the Bible says we will reap what we sow. In fact, this principle is woven into creation. Sin costs more, reaches further, and lasts longer than we ever think. The past doesn’t become the past until we repent. Now we can live under or over the past, it’s our decision. Here’s a couple of things David did to live over his past: He confessed not only what he did but what he thought, and then he took responsibility for what he had caused and cared for those he hurt.
