TEXT 1 SAMUEL 24 3-7
CLASSIC
TOPIC : OUR COVENANT OF EXEMPTION
[3]And he came to the sheepcotes by the way, where was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet: and David and his men remained in the sides of the cave.
[4]And the men of David said unto him, Behold the day of which the LORD said unto thee, Behold, I will deliver thine enemy into thine hand, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good unto thee. Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul's robe privily.
[5]And it came to pass afterward, that David's heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt.
[6]And he said unto his men, The LORD forbid that I should do this thing unto my master, the LORD'S anointed, to stretch forth mine hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the LORD.
[7]So David stayed his servants with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way.
Saul had set out to kill David out of envy.
He had gone in search of David in a cave where David and his men were hiding.
King Saul was so determined to kill David that he practically abandoned the throne he was fighting to protect in search of the young lad.
David had the tangible hand of God on him.
It was a mark of exemption from evil.
No power of the enemy could hurt him.
David personally fought in about forty four battles yet came out without a scare.
David got up from where he hid and cut off a part of king saul's royal dress.
David regretted doing that.
Loyalty attracts to us the marks of exemption.
Fear of God attracts to us the marks of exemption and the deliberate practice of mercy, attracts to us the marks of exemption.
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
You too can attract this insurance policy of Jehovah and become indestructible.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible
Your case is not
bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
