Fear verses Faith
Fear verses Faith
by: Pastor Ryan Scheibel
1 Samuel 26:7, “So David and Abishai came to the people by night; and there Saul lay sleeping within the camp, with his spear stuck in the ground by his head. And Abner and the people lay all around him.”
David sneaks into the camp where 3000 IDF soldiers were camped all around King Saul. David and Abi snuck in and are standing over Saul. David and Abi went in like navy seal team six special forces and went right up to the place where Saul was sleeping. The Bible says that the Lord caused a deep sleep to fall on them and God allowed them to sneak into the camp. Saul was completely vulnerable. David saw a spear stuck in the ground by Saul’s head. Last time David got a good look at that spear was when it went zipping by his head because Saul had thrown it at him on several occasions before this Saul had tried to kill David with that very spear.
Saul was a very fearful man. He was afraid of Goliath and David wasn’t afraid, he killed Goliath and all the men who followed David became giant killers! All the men who followed Saul were fearful and afraid. This shows us a courageous person stirs up courage in other people.
Psalm 121:7, “The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul.”
