A Set of Waves
A Set of Waves
by: Pastor Ryan Scheibel
1 Samuel 24:1-2, “Now it happened, when Saul had returned from following the Philistines, that it was told ‘Take note! David is in the Wilderness of En Gedi.’ Then Saul took three thousand chosen men from all Israel, and went to seek David and his men on the Rocks of the Wild Goats.”
1 Samuel 24 open with Saul after David again which shows us Saul is a relentless foe! As soon as Saul was done with the Philistines, he went back to pursuing David. So often in our Christian life we can get discouraged as we have a trial and overcome it, but the trials keep coming relentlessly like sets of waves! God delivered you from some trial that you’re facing like David, you’re spared and then another trial happens in the next chapter in your life and Saul’s pursuing you again.
I’ve heard it said your either in a trial, coming out of a trial or headed into another one.
The truth is we’re going to keep facing trials until we go to glory with the Lord. I don’t say that to discourage anybody, that doesn’t sound like a good news message we like to hear. I’m going to have to face trials and spiritual attack the rest of my life! I wish I could paint a rosier picture but I’m here to tell you the truth!
Jesus said in John 16:33, “In the world you’ll have tribulation but be of good cheer for I’ve overcome the world.”
Satan’s going to keep coming after us and we’re going to have to deal with the world, the flesh and the devil until we go to heaven. So we just need to keep trusting in the Lord each day!
