It’s A Guarantee….

When it’s in God’s will, it’s a guarantee. It may not happen as you see fit, but it will happen. The key is trusting, obeying, and carrying on with life as it’s worked out. David was being hunted down by King Saul. He had every right to worry and wonder “why” God was allowing this. But deep down inside, he knew he had to trust God, for God had told him he would be king. God doesn’t make promises that He doesn’t keep. If David knew he would become king, then he knew Saul wasn’t going to end his life. The same is true for believers. When God promises us to take care of us, never leaving or forsaking us, why do we allow ourselves to be distraught when things don’t go our way? It may not seem like it’s true or going to happen, but faith is all about taking the next step without seeing exactly where to place your foot. It’s how God operates. Trust me on this one. Trust God with His promises.

17 “Don’t be afraid,” Jonathan reassured him. “My father will never find you! You are going to be the king of Israel, and I will be next to you, as my father, Saul, is well aware.” 18 So the two of them renewed their solemn pact before the Lord. Then Jonathan returned home, while David stayed at Horesh. 1 Samuel 23:17-18

26 Saul and David were now on opposite sides of a mountain. Just as Saul and his men began to close in on David and his men, 27 an urgent message reached Saul that the Philistines were raiding Israel again. 28 So Saul quit chasing David and returned to fight the Philistines. Ever since that time, the place where David was camped has been called the Rock of Escape. 29 David then went to live in the strongholds of En-gedi. 1 Samuel 23:26-29
