—1 Samuel 18:10-16
by: Kennedy Ochs.
Without God, we become filled with fear. When we remember the peace we have received when we have walked with Him in the past, we especially recognize just how lost we are without Him. With Him, we walk in His will and our actions are guided by Him. Saul knew what it was like to be filled with God’s Spirit and His peace. But in this passage, Saul was not only without God’s peace, but was filled with an evil spirit. His actions became ruled by the fear he felt, knowing that God had left him but was very much with David. Do not give in to fear. Instead, seek to walk more closely with God every day.
