The Kitchen Table Devotional
David Day 123
He said to David, “You are more righteous than I, for you have repaid me good, whereas I have repaid you evil. 18 And you have declared this day how you have dealt well with me, in that you did not kill me when the LORD put me into your hands.
1 Samuel 24:17-18
No amount of good words can change a bad heart. When the heart is bad, everything else will be brought into question. We often want to deal with what rather than the why, but the devil is always in the why. Relieved that he is alive and yet resentful of what David had done, Saul speaks good but sees bad. There is no relief if you make others your problem. Relief comes from dealing with the you of your problems. Only a good soul can truly speak good words. The answer is to deal with our problems, not the problems we see with others.
