Victory, what characterizes yours? Kill? or be killed?....what to do!

It was dark, the cave was cramped and damp. Dark. Fear permeated the air. Fear of discovery and almost certain death. He knew the intentions of his enemy and so did those around him. The hounds of death had been after his life for a time now.There was a call that his enemy was near. They were about to search the very cave they were in. How would he escape, there was only one way in ans one way out. Shhhhh!, Silence! Quiet! - these were the thoughts now....oh the enemy is right next to me but he cannot see me. Those around him said, strike now! Strike swiftly! But alas, he just cut a piece of his enemy's cloak.

What would you done! This is always the most difficult thing to do, the most difficult position to find oneself in. They have not been satisfied with trying to destroy your character, your name, they want to take your life also. What do you do? you have the opportunity to finish them before they finish you. What to do?

I have seen so may disparaging comments about prayer lately than I have ever seen before in my lifetime. "We have to do more than pray?" "How would praying help you?".....You see prayer gives me the answer, of what to do, how to do it and when to do it? Action without prayer is self-driven and so many times leads to folly and hardship.

In that cave he prayed. He stopped and took a breath and God answered.

Vengeance is mine!!!! Be obedient to me and watch me work. Trust me with your life. Die to me. Do not let your fear rule your life. Trust me to care for you. You cannot take matters in to your own hands. Deal fairly! Mind your words! Don't let your feelings and frustrations guide you. I AM HERE!

That day David trusted God, he did not kill Saul. He was vindicated by God, made king.

Today, you are facing a situation and you are letting fear, anger, hurt, pain determine your steps. They will lead to destruction. Turn to Him, Creator, Sustainer, All Knowing, All Powerful God!
