TOPIC: TURN TO THE RIGHT PERSON
Read: 1 Samuel 17:26-29
26 And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?
27 And the people answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that killeth him.
28 And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why camest thou down hither? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride, and the naughtiness of thine heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle.
29 And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause?
MEMORISE: Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest (Matthew 11:28).
EXPOSITION
The insult of the Philistines’ giant, Goliath, on the army of Israel warranted the question asked by David after he arrived at Elah. When his eldest brother Eliab heard his questions, he tried to shout him down, but David who knew what he came to do in the battlefield, turned to other men to get the true picture of what was happening before his arrival, to see may be he could be of help, as young as he was (1 Sam. 17:26-29).
Instead of turning off an important issue, turning over to the reliable source does a great deal of good. It is not enough for one to turn away from God because someone has done something unexpected. David was never discouraged with the unexpectedly discouraging words from his obviously overreacting and probably jealous brother, but asked from the person who gave him the needed information.
Those you turn to might have different perspectives from you intention/motive, sometimes, very negative. Don’t allow criticism or mockery to stop the purpose of God for your life. Do what is right.
Pharaoh dreamt, and his Egyptian magicians and wise men could not tell him what it meant. Pharaoh turned to Joseph (unknown to him that he was actually turning to the YAHWEH of Joseph *Gen. 41:14-16) who interpreted the dream and saved the nation from the disaster of a severe famine.
Where all efforts fail, why don’t you turn to your Maker? Come to Him and He will give you joy, peace, rest and blessings.
PRAYER POINTS
1. Lord, I look up to You; please send help tome and hasten to my defence.
2. Go to God in an “Alone-with-God” mood, to tell Him exactly where the shoes pinch you.
3. Father, make a way for as many as are in one difficulty or the other, and grant them quick intervention from above.
