David is still on the run and in God’s plan, God leads Saul right into the cave where David is hiding. David gives us a wonderful example of how we should treat someone who has wronged us. He doesn’t take shortcuts to becoming King by killing his enemy. Instead he shows him mercy. His conscience drives him out of the cave and in a spirit of humility and total vulnerability he confronts Saul. Instead of accusing him he tries to soften the blow by covering Saul’s sins. Saul responds well and confesses his own weaknesses. Yet in time, Saul’s repentance would prove false.Sunday, 27 Jun 2010

David begins to make the journey back to Israel to become their King. Abner, one of King Saul’s relatives puts, Ish-Bosheth on the throne as a puppet king. In reality it is Abner who has the power. Abner does not accept the rightful rule of King David. His willful rebellion reminds us of what we are like: born as citizents in the kingdom of darkness, we live independently of our Creator. Neverthless the moment came when Abner changed his loyalties. He left those family ties which no doubt held him back, and joined the winning side.Sunday, 12 Sep 2010
