Beneath the Surface #6
June 10, 2008 – 12:03 amBible reading: 1 Samuel chapters 24-25
One moment of weakness can lead to a decision or action that cannot be undone and feeds the regret that leads to other destructive, emotional experiences. God however, transforms the human weakness into spiritual power, especially when we come to Him in confession and truth.
One moment of passionate anger can also bear the same effect. It calls forth blind passion and careless response. Many people have been swayed from regretful error by a wise woman!
When tempted to human response and reaction, a recollection of previous victorious under God’s leadership is a healthy reminder for present realities and needs. The LORD will vindicate Himself and His faithful followers in His good time. What we haven’t figured out is, He doesn’t really need us — He includes us. So leave it with Him.
