The Kitchen Table Devotional

David Day 115

Then Saul took three thousand chosen men from all Israel and went to seek David and his men in front of the Rocks of the Wild Goats.

1 Samuel 24:2

Life is made up of many, many decisions, and you can’t really afford to be driven by things that get personal rather than purposeful.  When personal issues interfere with purposeful issues, we get distracted by lower priorities.  King Sual’s personal issues pulled him, and the best he had, away from the purposeful.  Later, we find out that King Sual was wrestling with personal paranoid issues, and that’s what happens when we lose sight of the higher purpose.  David will face the same issue that day.  Keep your purpose in God your priority for God.

David Day 114

Now when Saul returned from pursuing the Philistines, he was told, saying, “Behold, David is in the wilderness of Engedi.”

1 Samuel 24:1

There is always an opportunity to make the right decision in life, but there are always people who want you to make the wrong decision.  It’s important to think about how you will decide and why.  Without a life after God, we find ourselves with a life after God.  Saul once knew what it was to have God’s direction and discernment, but now, after God, he was left to the counsel of mere men.  If it wasn’t for David, whose life was led by God, this choice would have been fatal.   Be careful about who you listen to and determine how and why you will decide what you decide.
