A Jealous Eye
Good morning Scripture reading: 1 Samuel 18 Worship song: This Is Amazing Grace Meditation: King Saul's expression of love for David turned into a jealous rage, triggered when the people applauded David publicly for his victorious defeat of the Philistines. Driven by an envious and malicious spirit, King Saul turned against David, viewing his servant as a direct threat to his throne. Despite recognizing that God had shifted His favor to David, a fearful and jealous Saul made repeated, failed attempts to murder his successor, fueled by intense rage. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him. The Lord will preserve the souls of his people and protect us from all evil. No force can overpower those shielded by the Almighty; in times of disaster, the believer rests in divine safety. Do not fear your enemies for if God is on your side, no one can truly stand against you....
