If you don’t run for your life tonight, tomorrow you’ll be killed

1 Samuel 19:1-24

But an evil spirit from the Lord came on Saul as he was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand. While David was playing the lyre, Saul tried to pin him to the wall with his spear, but David eluded him as Saul drove the spear into the wall. That night David made good his escape.

Saul sent men to David’s house to watch it and to kill him in the morning. But Michal, David’s wife, warned him, “If you don’t run for your life tonight, tomorrow you’ll be killed.” So Michal let David down through a window, and he fled and escaped. Then Michal took an idol and laid it on the bed, covering it with a garment and putting some goats’ hair at the head.

So Saul went to Naioth at Ramah. But the Spirit of God came even on him, and he walked along prophesying until he came to Naioth. He stripped off his garments, and he too prophesied in Samuel’s presence. He lay naked all that day and all that night. This is why people say, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”

Why?

Saul envies the name of David greater than he worries he will be replaced in the position of king by David in Juda. So Saul tried to kill David.

Under the blessing of the Lord David is saved but he still needs to suffer the difficulty of Saul, and David knew Saul was anointed by the Lord so he could not kill him.

Under the blessing of the Lord doesn't mean everything is going smoothly, but there are many troubles and difficulties but with our effort and the help of the Lord we will be saved and in peace.

Saul acted evil, so his son Jonathan and daughter Michal helped David escape from Saul.

Because Samuel is walking with the Lord so everyone came with Samuel they also prophesied.

How?

No matter what happens before me, just go with the Lord and trust in the Lord
