Seated at Your throne
Your majesty
You gave it all
You gave it all
You rule and reign
You're victorious
Above all
Above all
You bore cross
For all our sin and shame
You paid it all
You paid it all
Lifted high to life
For all to see
You're glorified
You're glorified
Day 106.
So lesson i learnt today, David had the chance to kill Saul, the person who has been chasing after his life for ages, and making his life horrible. A normal person would think that God has definitely delievered Saul to David, and because of that David should take that chance and end Saul's life, in the process making life easier for himself. David did nothing wrong, and was a righteous person. On the other hand, Saul was like the total opposite, being moved by pride and jealousy, and because of that took advantage of his power and took the lives of many. I would say killing Saul would have been a favour to the Israelites, and to everyone else! But David's reaction was one that was hard to see coming, he ended up sparing Saul's life because he continued to see Saul as the king of Israel, and someone who God placed over him. David made a decision to submit to Saul, even when Saul was after his life when he did nothing wrong. Now that would take a lot of courage i would say.. Not many people in that same situtation would do the same thing though.. But if David could even submit to the bad authority placed over him, there should be no problem for us to submit to the good authority that has been placed over us. We have been blessed, and let us take our blessing to a further step by submitting to those that God has placed over us. There is always ultimately only 1 leader.
