Meditate on verse 30b.
David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul.
So his name was highly esteemed.
After the death of Goliath, David soon faced a new
enemy, jealous King Saul. Saul’s gratitude for his young musician’s victory
over the enemy turned to deadly envy. Saul conceived plot after plot to kill
him, yet David’s LORD Champion was always with him, keeping him safe, even in
impossible circumstances. Just as he trusted God to save him from lions, bears,
and giants (1 Samuel 17:34-37), David trusted the LORD to save him from a crazy
king, keeping his behavior above reproach despite how Saul behaved.
You often encounter ungodly people. They may be
family members, friends, coworkers, or a stranger in the car next to you. How
do you respond? Do you reflect their words, actions, and attitudes, or do you
behave more wisely than those around you because Christ controls you? Trust
your Savior and Champion to fight your battles (Isaiah 19:20).
Pray 1 Samuel 18:14 and 30 over yourself and those for whom
you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“LORD, let ________ and me prosper in all our ways for You are with us.
Let us behave ourselves more wisely than others.
May our name be highly esteemed.
Because of Your name, Jesus~”
