1 Samuel 29:6            God is in Control
Then Achish called David, and said unto him, Surely, as the LORD liveth, thou hast been
upright, and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the host is good in my sight: for I
have not found evil in thee since the day of thy coming unto me unto this day: nevertheless
the lords favour thee not. 1 Samuel 29:6

It is interesting to me how if God had allowed David and his men to find favor in the eyes of
the Philistines they would have been a part of the army that killed Saul and his sons. Often as
we go through life we find even when we are doing what is right we may not find favor with those who are in authority over us. And, it seems unfair. At times we forget that God is in control. We
as Christians must learn to remember that God always does the most loving thing for us. NEN Biblical References: 1 Samuel 29:1-6, 1 Samuel 31



John 3:18-20            The Light in the Darkness
“He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh
to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.” John 3:18-20

Perhaps this is why atheists and liberals seemingly "hate" Christians and the Gospel. Matthew 5:14-16 says “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither
do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto
all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” As Christians, our light exposes us to the world. People are drawn to the light either way. Some come to the light in their quest for truth and answers. Others come to the light because they want to snuff it out. We are warned in
2 Timothy 3:12 “Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.” We
will suffer persecution as Christians because evil men will hate our light. Just remember in Matthew 10:22 we are given a promise, “And ye shall be hated of all men for My name’s sake:
but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.” CN
