God’s Protection

1st Samuel 29

God saves David from a big mistake that would have cost him being king. David was lined up with the Philistines ready to go to war with Israel. David was going to war against his fellow man. The leaders of the Philistines saw David and were scared because they thought he might turn against them and kill them. We do not know what David would have done because he did not fight against the Israelites when Achish thought he was doing that already.

David departed from the battle line with his men and the chapter ends with that. The truth is God knew what he was doing because he was protecting David from a mistake that would have been devastating. God took him out of a situation that he might have gone into. God does the same thing with us. He allows us to be brought out of a situation for our protection and sometimes allows us to try and withstand it on our own.  God loves us a lot. He wants us to be protected. When we are in fellowship with God we can know were to go and what to do. When we are not that is when we most likely will make stupid decisions.
