Invincible

Today’s Bible Reading:  1 Samuel 19; 1 Chronicles 7; Matthew 4

Journal Entry on a passage from today’s reading:

Topic: Anointing

SCRIPTURE:  1 Samuel 19:10, 20-21

¹⁰ Then Saul sought to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he slipped away from Saul's presence; and he drove the spear into the wall. So David fled and escaped that night…

²⁰ Then Saul sent messengers to take David. And when they saw the group of prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as leader over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied. ²¹ And when Saul was told, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. Then Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they prophesied also. (1 Sam 19:10, 20-21 NKJ)

OBSERVATION:

It has been said that the man of God is invincible until God is through with him. David was anointed by God and God supernaturally protected him (Ps 59:16). When Saul tried to run him through with a spear he was unsuccessful. The spirit of the Lord was so present over David that three different groups of men sent by Saul to take him were so overcome by the Spirit that, instead of seizing David, they were seized by the Spirit.

APPLICATION:

As long as I have the Lord’s anointing to lead and am obedient to my calling, I will be invincible—I will have God’s protection and need never fear.

PRAYER:

May I always have Your anointing Lord and fearlessly obey Your will.

In Christ Jesus. Amen.  -AP
