Being Yourself
Text: And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants. And it came to pass as they came, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of musick. And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands. And Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom? And Saul eyed David from that day and forward. And it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as at other times: and there was a javelin in Saul's hand. And Saul cast the javelin; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall with it. And David avoided out of his presence twice. And Saul was afraid of David, because the Lord was with him, and was departed from Saul. Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people. And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the Lord was with him.
1 Samuel 18:5-14 KJV
Praise Be to God almighty for the privilege to share from the word this day. I want to thank God who has not just given us His word but has impacted understanding and guidance to us through His word. He alone deserve all the Praise.
I want to talk about Being yourself. In life what some people will most likely adore and hail is you being people pleaser and walking in the track of other's agreement with you even if it doesn't please you or your spirit man.
From the scripture is a snippet of one of the occurence that played in the life odmf David under the authority of saul. David was adopted or admitted so to say to the palace after his great victory against Goliath which all Israel were grateful it happened.
Jonathan the son of King saul loved David like Himself and took him like a brother. Saul knowing so well that David wasn't just an ordinary. Warrior but most likely theNext king after him detest David but hid it under his breath.
Then this occurrence took place, David had gone to war with the host of Israel and they won. And when he returned the women came out in multitudes dancing singing to meet king Saul but instead of praising Saul alone they sang this way "Saul hath slain his thousands and David ten thousands".
King Saul was filled with wroth highly displeased by the women song. Saul eyed ... The amplified version says Saul looked at David with suspicion(and jealousy) from that day forward..
Despite Saul's jealousy towards David, David. Remained to be loyal. The next day thr Spirit of God came upon Saul and he raved madly inside his house, while David was playing the haro with his hand as usual Saul threw the spear in his hands towards David intending to pin David to the wall. But

Good afternoon, I very recently felt the love God has for all his children, I was living in regret about the betrayal and heartache I endured by those only seeking the love of money and the depths they would go to achieve it. I have held it all in for 5 years I've merely existed I wasn't truly living, I was wasting God's gift,life's beautiful and should be treasured and we all should walk in the light of the Lord. I had a character flaw I would hold grudges I couldn't allow forgiveness because the pain I was caused was unwarranted and I did not deserve what I was given but I do have freewill and I do forgive because God will Judge us all so from this moment forth I will try to walk the path and try to be as Jesus was I know we all fall short of the greatness of the Lord but what better Rolemodel is there than the Savior of man, as his life as a man was coming to an end he still held no hate in his heart he begged his father for forgiveness against his tormentors and torturers and all mankind "Forgive them Father for they know not what they do".I cannot think of a better path to walk or someone to emulate than the most high but understanding that were human we're fragile and our lives over so fast but to know death isn't the end as long as you are trying and repent and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior but from that moment on until he returns on judgement day. Pray �� give freely all glory be unto God because he is worthy of all praise and through Jesus we reunite with God. I realized I couldn't do it alone, I was stubborn and I used to believe that I was cancerous to those I cared about so I made bad decisions, I take responsibility for my actions I found I only prayed �� to God when I was desperate for help, I felt I wasn't worthy of Gods love and forgiveness because I was a sinner and yesterday I experienced and felt the love and light it changed me it took away pain it truly did God performed a miracle and I never want this feeling to leave I feel i found what I've been missing my entire life not because God wasnt there for me i had to be the one to allow him in and nothing can compare to it I feel like I've been given a much needed 2nd chance, I have had alot of damage to my body even me alive and typing this is proof of God's love for me. I will always sing Our Lord's praises we have an Awesome /Amazing Loving God.
God Bless us everyone in Jesus name Amen
