Today's reading 1Samuel 22
King James Version with Web Encyclopedia Links: 1Samuel 22

In 1Samuel 22, (v.1-2) Achish drove him away and David escaped to the cave of Adullam. His brothers and his father’s household supported him. This was when he wrote Psalm 102, when he prays for refuge from his enemies. some warriors joined David including Gadites who had defected to David (In 1Chronicles 12.8-18).. In v. 3-5, at Mizpah, David went to Moab, another enemy of Israel and asked them to let his mother and father stay with him. The king of Moab had allowed it. Sometimes God will even use your enemies to protect you and your loved ones. In v. 6-19 Doeg told Saul that he saw David at Nob. Saul ordered Doeg to kill the priests of Nob! Doeg went and massacred the priests. David heard of the slaughter from Abiathar, a son of Ahimelech. David felt responsible for the deaths of the priest and his family. Psalm 52 was written at this time, the psalm mocked Doeg and warned that God would avenge for the deeds what Doeg had done.

Application:
Wicked men may seem to win for the moment but they will face their destruction in the end. We do not need to afraid of wicked men who seem to prosper God will judge them. Saul met a tragic end to his like as well as Doeg. Be encoraged God is in control.

23 Stay with me; don't be afraid; the man who is seeking your life is seeking mine also. You will be safe with me."
