4-Steps to Better Crisis Management–1Samuel 30:6-9

April 19, 2013 in 1 Chronicles, 1 Samuel, 2013 Journey, Believing God in the Hard Times, Choices, leadership, Rejection, Workplace with 1 Comment

Today’s Scripture Reading:  1 Samuel 30: 1-31, 1 Chronicles 12: 20-22, 1 Samuel 31: 1-13, 1 Chronicles 10: 1-14, 1 Chronicles 9: 40-44, 2 Samuel 4: 4, 2 Samuel 1: 1-27

Have you ever had something happen in your life that caused you to “weep until you could weep no more?”

When David and his men arrived home and found their city crushed and burned to the ground and their wives and children carried off, “they wept until they could weep not more.”

In one sense David was just like them, he had lost everything he loved, but in another he was the leader and everyone looked to him to fix it.  So when David thinks it can’t get any worse—it does.  He hears his men talking of stoning him.  He’s hurting as bad as they are, but somehow it’s his fault.

Folks we’re reading real life here.

This happens…

in the workplace

with friends

in families

I hate to say this…it happens in the church.

We get hurt and we play the blame game.

Yes, part of the responsibility and burden of being a leader is  taking charge in a crisis, but wouldn’t it have been great if David’s men would have brought him into the group and grieved with him rather than putting a target on his back as the cause of the problem.

Once again, David leads by example and gives us a model to follow on those days when we’ve “wept until we can’t weep anymore.”

How was David able to deal with his own grief, compose himself and develop a plan to get their families back?

He found strength in the Lord his God.

Oh, that we could follow the plan David laid out for us in today’s scriptures:

  1. David found strength in the Lord his God (1 Samuel 30:6b)
  2. David asked the Lord for guidance (1 Samuel 30:7)
  3. David waited to hear from God
  4. David led his men as they carried out the plan that the Lord had blessed (1 Samuel 30:9)

The order is really important! Complete one step before moving to the next one.

I don’t know about you, but when there is a crisis that needs some kind of action I usually get the news, jump in the car and pray on the way to ask God to bless what I’ve already decided to do!

What I should do is  S-T-O-P and follow David’s example.

Prayer is the most important thing we can do, but waiting for His answer is just as important.

Father God, I need your strength and your direction! Help me to follow David’s plan when the next crisis arrives.

In Jesus’ Name. Amen and Amen!

Tomorrow’s Scripture Reading:  2 Samuel 2: 1 through 2 Samuel 3: 5, 1 Chronicles 3: 1-4a, 2 Samuel 23: 8-17, 1 Chronicles 11: 10-19, 2 Samuel 23: 18-39, 1 Chronicles 11: 20-47

What Do You Do “When It Seems God is Refusing to Answer?” –1 Samuel 28:5-7

April 18, 2013 in 1 Chronicles, 1 Samuel, 2013 Journey, Faith, leadership, Psalms with 1 Comment

Today’s Scripture Reading: 1 Samuel 26:1-27:7; 1 Chronicles 12:1-7; 1 Samuel 27:8-29:11; 1 Chronicles 12:19; Psalm 56

What do you do when it “seems like” God is refusing to answer your prayers?

Do you react like Saul?

Meanwhile, Samuel had died, and all Israel had mourned for him. He was buried in Ramah, his hometown. And Saul had banned from the land of Israel all mediums and those who consult the spirits of the dead.

The Philistines set up their camp at Shunem, and Saul gathered all the army of Israel and camped at Gilboa.  When Saul saw the vast Philistine army, he became frantic with fear.  He asked the Lord what he should do, but the Lord refused to answer him, either by dreams or by sacred lots or by the prophets. Saul then said to his advisers, “Find a woman who is a medium, so I can go and ask her what to do.” 

His advisers replied, “There is a medium at Endor.”

Or do you trust like David?

O God, have mercy on me,

for people are hounding me.

My foes attack me all day long.

I am constantly hounded by those who slander me,

and many are boldly attacking me.

But when I am afraid,

      I will put my trust in you.

I praise God for what he has promised.

      I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?

What can mere mortals do to me?

They are always twisting what I say;
they spend their days plotting to harm me.

They come together to spy on me—
watching my every step, eager to kill me.
Don’t let them get away with their wickedness;
in your anger, O God, bring them down.

You keep track of all my sorrows.
You have collected all my tears in your bottle.
You have recorded each one in your book.

My enemies will retreat when I call to you for help.
This I know: God is on my side!

I praise God for what he has promised;
Yes, I praise the Lord for what he has promised.

I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?
What can mere mortals do to me?

I will fulfill my vows to you, O God,
and will offer a sacrifice of thanks for your help.
For you have rescued me from death;
you have kept my feet from slipping.

So now I can walk in your presence, O God,
in your life-giving light.

Wait, wait, wait on God.  When fear comes over you, put your trust in your God.  Make a conscious choice to be like David.

Heavenly Father, help us to refuse to take matters into our own hands like Saul.  We will wait on you to rescue us.  When we’re afraid we will trust in You.

In Jesus’ Name.  Amen and Amen!

Tomorrow’s Scripture Reading: 1 Samuel 30:1-31; 1 Chronicles 12:20-22; 1 Samuel 31:1-13; 1 Chronicles 10:1-14; 1 Chronicles 9:40-44; 2 Samuel 4:4; 2 Samuel 1:1-27


What Do Others Think About Your Life? –1 Samuel 25:23-28

April 17, 2013 in 1 Samuel, 2013 Journey, leadership, Tough Times, Trials with 0 Comments

Today’s Scripture Reading: 1 Samuel 23:13-29; Psalm 54; 1 Samuel 24:1-25:44

What do people think when they see your life and your relationship with Jesus Christ?

Here’s what Abigail thought about David’s life:

“Even when you are chased by those who seek to kill you, your life is safe in the care of the Lord your God, secure in his treasure pouch! But the lives of your enemies will disappear like stones shot from a sling!” –1 Samuel 25:29

What does it mean to be secure in God’s treasure pouch?

I would love to say that being in God’s treasure pouch means that no harm will come to us, but David’s life is a perfect example to the contrary–He was running for his life, living in caves and scrounging for food.

When I think of a pouch full of treasure there would only be three reasons for the owner to pull out the treasure:

  1. To count it, polish it, or admire it
  2. To show it to someone else
  3. To use it to buy something more valuable

It seems to me that God has done all three with His treasures:

  • He had Moses count all the Israelite men over 20 years old.   –Numbers 1:1-3
  • He bragged to Satan about his servant Job.   –Job 1:8
  • He allowed His Son to die on the cross to buy eternal life for you and me.  –John 3:16

Friends, you and I are God’s treasures:

The Lord has declared today that you are his people, his own special treasure, just as he promised, and that you must obey all his commands. –Deuteronomy 26:18 (NLT)

If you feel like God has pulled you out of His treasure pouch, just know that He’s either admiring your growth, showing you off for His Glory, or using your pain to buy the salvation of someone who doesn’t know Him.  The only place that’s safer than God’s treasure pouch is His hands!

Heavenly Father, I pray that as others look at my life they will see me as one of Your treasures.  Use me for Your Glory.  In Jesus’ Name.  Amen and Amen!

What Do You Do When You Get the Answer You don’t Want to Hear? 1Samuel 23:10-12

April 16, 2013 in 1 Chronicles, 1 Samuel, 2013 Journey, Prayer, Psalms with 0 Comments

Today’s Scripture Reading:  1 Samuel 22: 1-2, Psalm 57, Psalm 142, 1 Chronicles 12:8-18, 1 Samuel 22:3-23, Psalm 52, 1 Samuel 23:1-12

David prayed, “O Lord, God of Israel, I have heard that Saul is planning to come and destroy Keilah because I am here.  Will the leaders of Keilah betray me to him?  And will Saul actually come as I have heard?  O Lord, God of Israel, please tell me.”

And the Lord said, “He will come.”

Again David asked, “Will the leaders of Keilah betray me and my men to Saul?

And the Lord replied, “Yes, they will betray you.”–1 Samuel 23:10-12

What do you say after the Lord speaks this clearly and directly?

Do we argue with the God who made us?

This was not the answer David wanted to hear.

David had just heard that Saul had killed Ahimelech and all his family because of him.  He was hiding in a cave with 400 discontented fugitives, waiting for the danger to pass (Ps. 57:1).

But the danger didn’t pass…

It got worse.

Let’s look at three verses from these two Psalms that describe David’s thoughts and feelings in the cave and during the time Doeg the Edomite betrayed him to Saul:

  • Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy!  I look to you for protection.  I will hide beneath the shadow of your wings until the danger passes by. (Ps. 57:1)
  • My heart is confident in you O God; my heart is confident.  No wonder I can sing your praise! (Ps. 57:7)
  • I look for someone to come and help me; but no one gives me a passing thought!  No one cares a bit what happens to me.  Then I pray to you, O Lord.  I say, “You are my place of refuge.  You are all I really want in life. (Ps. 142:4-5)

David penned these words BEFORE he got the Word from the Lord—”Yes, Saul is coming and yes, the leaders of Keilah will betray you and your men to Saul.”

The Bible doesn’t say this, but from what I’ve seen in David’s level of trust in the Lord, I believe David sang those Psalms again after he got the news.  David believed God to protect him through the battle.

What do we do when we get the answer we don’t want to hear?

  • We ask for mercy
  • We look to God for protection
  • We put our confidence in God
  • We sing the praises of the Lord
  • We know that while people may fail us during difficult times, God will be our place of refuge
  • We let God be enough

Father, thank you for the example of David!

I’m Hiding Under the Shadow of Your wings.

Have You Ever Been Betrayed?

April 15, 2013 in 1 Samuel, 2013 Journey, Divorce, Forgiveness, Psalms, Rejection, Word of God with 3 Comments

Today’s Scripture Reading: 1 Samuel 20:1 through 21:15, Psalm 34

Today’s reading is a great example of the beauty of the Chronological Bible. Samuel narrates the story and Psalms 34 tells us what David was feeling. It makes much more sense when we read them together.

Before I read the Bible chronologically I thought David was sitting out in some beautiful pasture with angels singing as he wrote the Psalms, but that could not have been further from the truth. Let’s try to imagine how this really took place…

In a matter of a couple of days David’s best friend Jonathan had confirmed his father Saul’s intention to kill David, he said goodbye to his best friend, in desperation for food, he ate the Holy Bread from the Tabernacle, and he pretended to be insane to save his life! Oh, and he wrote a Psalm…

I’m sure when he wrote it he never thought it would be a part of the Holy Scriptures. David found the strength and energy to write his feelings  following this trying ordeal because the Holy Spirit anointed him.  Sharing his feelings with the Lord was a common practice for him. Singing and/or writing was the way he worshiped and communicated with God.

I encourage you to read Psalm 34 out loud. It is so powerful! David is reminding himself of the goodness and faithfulness of his God.

Have you ever had a talk with yourself?

David did.

He was hurt and offended by Saul’s change of heart toward him, but he knew what was right. Let’s look at what he says:

Does anyone want to live a long life? Then keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies! Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it. –Psalm 34:12-14

Many years ago I was deeply hurt by the betrayal of a friend. Through a business relationship I was forced to interact with her publically a couple of times a month. I would literally become ill after these encounters. One night after one of these stressful times I came home and prayed and asked God what I needed to do.

Yes, I was in the process of forgiving her.

I wanted to forgive.

I was working on it,

but

every time I saw her all the hurt would come flooding back.

I felt God spoke to me and said, “I want you to handle her like David did Saul.”

“What does that mean?”

I went to the scriptures and studied David and Saul’s relationship. It was the most amazing thing. The Bible was written over 2000 years ago and it was completely relevant for my situation—how could that be?

Dianne, you are to do two things:

  • Do not speak evil against her
  • Stay away from her

This was liberating for me. I thought if I had forgiven I should be able to be around her without feeling the pain. The Lord told me that day to stay away so I could heal. It was a life changing day for me.

As we continue to study the life of David, we will be more amazed at the respect David showed Saul, but he definitely did his best to stay away from him.

Have you every been betrayed? How did you handle it?

Thanking God for You!

Can You Pass The Success Test? –1 Samuel 13:14

April 14, 2013 in 1 Samuel, 2013 Journey, Failure, Finances, Goals, Holy Spirit, leadership, Pride, Psalms, Success with 0 Comments

Today’s Scripture Reading:  1 Samuel 17:32 through 19:17, Psalm 59, 1 Samuel 19:18-24

Two amazing men chosen by God—one has the title of “a man after God’s own heart” and the other an everlasting example of what not to do.

Let’s go back to the beginning of David and Saul’s lives and see what we can learn from them:

Both were chosen by God:

  • Now the Lord had told Samuel the previous day, “About this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin.  Anoint him (Saul) to be the leader of my people. –1 Samuel 9:15-16
  • And the Lord, said, “this is the one; anoint him.”  So as David stood there among his brothers, Samuel took the flask of olive oil he had brought and anointed David with the oil.  –1 Samuel 16:12-13

Both had the Spirit of the Lord upon them:

  • When you (Saul) arrive at Gibeah of God…At that time the spirit of the Lord will come powerfully upon you and you will prophesy with them. You will be changed into a different person. –1 Samuel 10:6
  • So as David stood there among his brothers, Samuel took the flask of olive oil he had brought and anointed David with the oil.  And the Spirit of the Lord cam powerfully upon David from that day on.  –1 Samuel 16:13

Both started out as humble men:

  • When Samuel met Saul and told him that “he and his family would be the focus of all Israel’s hopes” Saul replied, “but I’m only from the tribe of Benjamin, the smallest tribe in Israel, and my family is the least important of all the families of that tribe!  Why are you talking like this to me?”  –1 Samuel 9:20-21
  • When Saul offered David his daughter Merab, David replied, “Who am I, and what is my family in Israel that I should be the king’s son-in-law?” David exclaimed,  “My father’s family is nothing!” –1 Samuel 18:18

What happened?

Both of these men got off to a great start…

If you know the Bible stories you know that David did some bad things as well.  In my eyes they seemed as bad or worse than what Saul did; what was the difference?

The condition of the heart—when Saul was disobedient the first time, Samuel told Saul that his kingdom must end, for the Lord has sought out a man after his own heart.  –1 Samuel 13:14

So God’s number one qualification for king was for that person to be “a man after His own heart.”

Success is one of the greatest tests of the heart, even more than failure. 

Saul’s immediate success and fame led him to forget who made him king.  Saul’s became filled with pride and arrogance instead of humility.

The heart is still the most important thing the Lord looks at.  We can say and do the right things but it’s the heart that God judges. A heart full of pride cannot totally follow after God!

Holy Spirit, show us the areas of our heart that aren’t pleasing to you.  Help us to repent, ask for your forgiveness and cleansing and then help us to have a heart like David!

In Jesus Name, Amen and Amen!

What Part of “Completely” Do You Not Understand? –1 Samuel 15:2-3

April 13, 2013 in 1 Samuel, 2013 Journey, Choices, Obedience, Pride with 0 Comments

Today’s Scripture Reading: 1 Samuel 15:1 through 1 Samuel 17:31

Saul is another person in the Bible who teaches us what “not” to do.

Samuel had told Saul in an earlier chapter that because he did not keep the commands God gave him, his kingdom must end.  Now, two chapters later Saul is again being disobedient by only partially adhering to Samuel’s instructions from the Lord.

Samuel’s instructions from the Lord were very clear: 

I have decided to settle accounts with the nation of Amalek for opposing Israel when they came from Egypt.  Now go and completely destroy the entire Amalekite nation—men, women, children, babies, cattle, sheep, goats, camels, and donkeys.   ~1 Samuel 15:2-3

Saul slaughtered all the Amalekites except…the King—Agag.  Not only did they spare Agag’s life but they also kept the best of the sheep and goats, the cattle, the fat calves, and the lambs—everything that appealed to them.  ~1 Samuel 15:8-9

Why didn’t Saul do what he was told?

Did he not know what “completely destroy” meant?

What happened to the “humble” Saul of 1 Samuel 9:21?

Listen to the sadness in our Heavenly Father’s Words spoken through Samuel after Saul’s “second” act of obedience:

I am sorry that I ever made Saul king, for he as not been loyal to me and has refused to obey my commands.    ~ 1 Samuel 15:11

In today’s world it is easy to be disloyal and disobedient to God; placing all kinds of things ahead of Him and letting our ego talk us into thinking we are “above” being obedient to anyone.  There are so many distractions and things that glitter; it’s really easy to get our priorities out of whack.

The thing that really blows my mind is Saul’s excuse for his behavior:  I was afraid of the people and did what they demanded.

Peer pressure…

It began in the Garden of Eden and will continue with us until Jesus comes to get us!

Samuel helps us put it all in perspective:

What is more pleasing to the Lord:  Your burnt offerings and sacrifices or your obedience to his voice?  Listen!  Obedience is better than sacrifice and submission in better than offering the fat of rams.  Rebellion is as sinful as witchcraft and stubbornness as bad as worshiping idols.  ~1 Samuel 15:22-23

Father, teach us to hear Your voice and obey!

How Do You Know It’s God Speaking? –1 Samuel 14:6

April 12, 2013 in 1 Chronicles, 1 Samuel, 2013 Journey, Faith, God Speaks today, Holy Spirit with 3 Comments

Today’s Scripture Reading:  1 Chronicles 9:35 through 1 Chronicles 9:39, 1 Samuel 13:1 through 5, 1 Samuel 13: 19 through 23, 1 Samuel 13: 6 through 18, 1 Samuel 14:  1 through 52

Today’s reading is sort of “all over the place.”  Just a reminder, the Chronicles run parallel with Samuel so we’ll have a lot of this in the next few days.

Today we meet another one of my favorite characters— Jonathan.  We’re going to get to know him more as the days go by, but today he shows us something I just could not pass by…

The first we hear of Jonathan, he’s winning a battle and his father Saul is taking credit for it (1 Samuel 13:3-4).  It’s hard to know whether Jonathan had real courage or if he was so young and naïve that he just thought he was invincible.

After today’s reading I think there’s a third possibility for Jonathan’s boldness…

He knew he had a big God!

One day Jonathan and his armor bearer snuck away to spy on the Philistines; they told no one.  Out of the blue, so it seemed; Jonathan said to his armor bearer:  “Perhaps the Lord will help us, for nothing can hinder the Lord.  He can win a battle whether he has many warriors or only a few.” (1 Samuel 14:6)

“Perhaps the Lord will help us?”

What does THAT mean?

Did Jonathan actually make this move without knowing he had heard from God?

Is that umm…spiritual?

I think, and please know this is me thinking, that Jonathan knew God and knew He lived in him and spoke to him.  So when the thought crossed his mind “Let’s go across to the outpost of those pagans” (1 Samuel 14:6a), Jonathan realized there was a good possibility it was God speaking.  So, he decided to move “just in case” it was God.

Friends, I want to be a “perhaps the Lord will help us kind of girl!”  How many times do we miss God because we’re over-analyzing and talking ourselves out of the “God thought” that crossed our mind.

I have had these moments over the years and each time like Jonathan; I would say, “Lord, I think this may be Your idea.  I want to step out, but a need to know it’s You.  Confirm this to me Lord.”  If I felt the Holy Spirit urging me along I would act, if not I would just try to forget it.  If I couldn’t forget it, I would take it as a sign (1 Samuel 14:10) that it was in fact the Holy Spirit speaking to me.  I’ve seen God do some amazing things but more times than I like to remember I talked myself out of stepping out.

I wonder, how many times have I missed the great adventure, because I wasn’t willing to step out and say, “Perhaps the Lord will help me, for nothing can hinder the Lord.”   With tear-filled eyes I say, “What if it’s God speaking?”

Father God, help us to recognize your promptings.  Use us for Your Glory!  We Trust you!

In Jesus Name, Amen and Amen!

One Sign of Emotional and Spiritual Health–1 Samuel 10:27

April 11, 2013 in 1 Samuel, 2013 Journey, Choices, Holy Spirit, leadership, Pride, Workplace with 0 Comments

Today’s Scripture Reading: 1 Samuel 9:1-12:25

When Saul returned to his home at Gibeah, a group of men whose hearts God had touched went with him.  But there were some scoundrels who complained, “How can this man save us?” And they scorned him and refused to bring him gifts. But Saul ignored them. –1 Samuel 10:27

Why did Saul ignore them?

After all he had just been anointed king; shouldn’t he have put these folks in their place?

Saul was just and ordinary guy and he knew it:

Saul replied, “But I’m only from the tribe of Benjamin, the smallest tribe in Israel, and my family is the least important of all the families of that tribe! Why are you talking like this to me?” –1 Samuel 9:21

At this stage of the game Saul was emotionally and spiritually healthy.  He knew his authority came from God. He was God’s puppet moving when the Spirit of God came upon him.  It wasn’t about him, so it was easy to ignore his scoffers.  God gave him a new heart (1 Samuel 10:9) that cared about the people of Israel more than his own reputation.

How much time to you spending fretting and worrying about what people are thinking and saying about you?

There’s only one opinion we need to be concerned about–our Heavenly Father’s.

In a few short chapters Saul will completely change…

I like this Saul.

 

Heavenly Father, help us to learn from Saul.  Help us to realize that when we begin to care more about what people think than what You think we are of no use to You.  Give us a new heart and teach us how to keep it pure. Use us for Your Glory.

In Jesus’ Name.  Amen and Amen!

Your Heavenly Father’s Advice on Rejection–1 Samuel 8:4-8

April 10, 2013 in 1 Samuel, 2013 Journey, Depression, Divorce, Encouragement, Failure, Family, Tough Times with 0 Comments


Today’s Scripture Reading: 1 Samuel 4:12-8:22

Rejection.  We all know what it feels like, but for some of us rejection defines us.  It’s the common thread in the tapestry of our lives.

Our Heavenly Father understands:

Finally, all the elders of Israel met at Ramah to discuss the matter with Samuel. “Look,” they told him, “you are now old, and your sons are not like you. Give us a king to judge us like all the other nations have.”

Samuel was displeased with their request and went to the Lord for guidance.  “Do everything they say to you,” the Lord replied, “for it is me they are rejecting, not you. They don’t want me to be their king any longer. Ever since I brought them from Egypt they have continually abandoned me and followed other gods. And now they are giving you the same treatment.  Do as they ask, but solemnly warn them about the way a king will reign over them.” –1 Samuel 8:4-8

Friends, do you hear the message?

Do you get it?

EVERYONE including the God of the universe gets rejected.

Your Heavenly Father understands your pain.  He’s felt it. He still feels it.  People are still rejecting Him.

Think about it, the cross is the perfect symbol of rejection.

Whether it’s rejection from a spouse, parent, family member, friend, employer, or church; God shows in 1 Samuel 8:4-8 the way to deal with it.

Here are two New Testament scriptures that expand on God’s message to Samuel:

If any household or town refuses to welcome you or listen to your message, shake its dust from your feet as you leave. –Matthew 10:14

But if the husband or wife who isn’t a believer insists on leaving, let them go. In such cases the Christian husband or wife is no longer bound to the other, for God has called you to live in peace. –1 Corinthians 7:15

Friends, if someone doesn’t want you, let them go.

Open your heart, open your hands.  Release them.

Heavenly Father, I pray for my friends who are experiencing the pain of rejection.  Comfort them Lord.  Help them to release those who have rejected them.  Remind them that you understand. Guide and direct them.

In Jesus’ Name.  Amen and Amen!
