1 Samuel 22-24, Luke 12:1-31
This is what I read today as part of my journey of reading the bible.
I especially loved 1Samuel24:13 As the old saying goes, 'From evildoers come evil deeds,' so my hand will not touch you. This was said by David to Saul while sparing his life. Saul chased David all over, and David ended up getting the jump on Saul when he went to "...relieve himself" (1Sam24:3). He spared Saul's life after Saul was trying to take his. Saul kiled the Priests of Nob (85 to be exact) by odering Doeg to take their lives. The many guards that King Saul commanded at his side would not do such a thing because these were priests of the Lord.
Luke 12:31 But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well
I fel like this verse summarizes the 30 before it. We worry about different things, but not about others, but the Lord wants us to not worry about anything but seeking his kingdom. What to wear today, what you will eat, or your body, are not things to worry about. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes (Luke 12:23). You are special, "the very hairs on your head are all numbered..." (12:7)
These words are very encouraging to me today, and I hope they are to you as well. Always remember how special you are and there should be no reason to worry, or frown. Smile for everyday is wonderful that you are able to wake up and give thanks to Him.
