“And Akhish believed him; he said, David has caused his own people Israel to despise him utterly; he will be my servant forever.”

This is what happens when we hang out in the world, it starts to accept us as its own and we start to get comfortable in it!

“Be aware that Adonai is God; it is he who made us; and we are His, His people, the flock in His pasture.”

“David then added, As Adonai lives, Adonai will strike him down, or the day will come for him to die, or he will go down to battle and be swept away.”
1 Samuel 26:10 CJB

We see here that as David said in previous verse that he can’t raise a hand against God’s anointed, but realize David does point out Saul’s errors and his misrepresenting God! Which Adonai will deal with, but like David we can point out false teachers and misleading preachers, without harming them!

“Vengeance and payback are mine for the time when their foot slips; for the day of their calamity is coming soon, their doom is rushing upon them.”
Deuteronomy 32:35 CJB

Often times when a false or misleading teacher or preacher is called out, their supporters come back with don’t touch God’s anointed! We all need to be careful of that, because if they are teaching false doctrine we can point that out, that is in no way touching them! Yeshua told us to be fruit inspectors!

“Beware of the false prophets! They come to you wearing sheep’s clothing, but underneath they are hungry wolves!”

Have a blessed day in Yeshua!

Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!

“In the morning, when he was sober and his wife told him what had happened, he had a stroke and became as motionless as a stone.”
1 Samuel 25:37 CJB

Here Abigail was stressing about her husband because David was going to kill him! God stops David and takes care of Abigail by taking Naval (Nabal), giving him a stroke! The same goes for us in our stressful situations! We need to just step back and take a deep breath and watch what God will do!

“For Adonai is good, His grace continues forever, and His faithfulness lasts through all generations.”
