God Preserves You To fulfill Purpose
1 Samuel 18:11 "And he hurled it, saying to himself, 'I'll pin David to the wall.' But David eluded him twice." NIV
Point to ponder on: When God ordains a man for a purpose no matter the evil against him God preserves his live to fulfil His purpose.
God having chosen David over Saul to be the next King of Israel and Saul unaware of this but because of jealousy which emanated from the refrain of women's song, Saul set his mind to kill David. Saul made seven different direct and indirect attempts to kill David. His pursuit failed and David had the opportunity to kill him but he didn't. David escaped because God was with him and Saul knew that yet he didn't stop pursuing him until when God delivered Saul into the hands of David but David spared the life of Saul. David could not be killed because God had a greater plan for his life. God preserved him. It doesn't matter the enemy behind the pursuit, whoever it may be God will preserve your life to accomplish His purpose. However, we must beware not to be the enemy of our own life. A man can cut his life short with over righteousness and over wickedness(Eccl. 7:16-17), which is different from enemy pursuing you. Remember this scripture, "...If God is for us who can be against us?"(Rom.8:31b) Nobody but you. Therefore, don't be afraid of the attack of the enemy you will surely prevail because God is on your side. God has kept you because your purpose on earth matters. One of your purposes is to tell the world about Jesus and the rest is up to you to discover.
Good morning. Enjoy His grace.
I celebrate you.
David, Johnson
Yes I believe He does.
