The Kitchen Table Devotional
David Day 125
So David gave his oath to Saul. Then Saul returned home, but David and his men went up to the stronghold.
1 Samuel 24:22
King Saul returned home, but David was still living rent-free in his head. This is no time to let down your guard. If a person hasn’t repented, taking responsibility for his or her actions, stay alert. David and his men went back to the stronghold. This isn’t about judgment but rather about discernment. No false guilt here and no false guarantees. King Saul was sorry he got caught and sorry for what all this might mean for his family, but he didn’t take responsibility for his actions or thoughts. Until we take responsibility for our thoughts and actions, there we be no real repentance and restoration. Know what you’re looking for from yourself and others.
