1 Samuel 24:1-22

Today’s text becomes more intense, and illustrates for us that “God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” 2 Tim 1:7.  Our restraint from sin is not primarily self-discipline but rather a matter of where we place our affections.  May our supreme confidence in God’s goodness shape our reasoning as it did for David.  And may we remain always restless until we find our rest in him, which is our greatest reward.
