The Kitchen Table Devotional
David Day 124
When a man finds his enemy, does he let him get away unharmed? May the LORD reward you well for the way you treated me today. 20 I know that you will surely be king and that the kingdom of Israel will be established in your hands.
1 Samuel 24:19-20
It’s a sad thing to see where selfishness and rebellion toward God lead a person. They fear what they really fear, death, and yet act like they can change their destiny. King Saul knows that his time is ending; he can’t change that without changing himself. The cost is too great to change, but the final cost will be greater than it is now. When we lose our ability to humble our hearts before God and repent of all fearful and foolish thoughts and actions, our destiny becomes death. He sees the end, but he can’t change his direction. It’s sad. It’s the end he deserves, because it’s the end of his own choices.
