How God Frustrates His Enemies | 1 Samuel 18:28-30

  • サマリー

  • Are people conspiring against you?

    Welcome to the Daily Devo. I am Vince Miller.

    This week, we have read 1 Samuel 18. I've titled this chapter "Allies and Adversaries."

    In yesterday's devotional, we explored how David's unwavering faith enabled him to overcome Saul's impossible task and demonstrate his value to Michal and Israel. Today, we discover how all this worked out for Saul and David in verses 28-30:

    But when Saul saw and knew that the Lord was with David, and that Michal, Saul's daughter, loved him, Saul was even more afraid of David. So Saul was David's enemy continually. Then the commanders of the Philistines came out to battle, and as often as they came out David had more success than all the servants of Saul, so that his name was highly esteemed. — 1 Samuel 18:28-30

    This moment is insightful and inspiring for obedient believers. I hope you see the hope in this text. The hope is this: If you are with God, no one and no plan will ever be able to stand against you.

    God is frustrating Saul's plans, which is frustrating him. Not only that, Saul's wicked plans are turned against him, revealing God's plan, which is becoming David's path to the throne. Saul, out of jealousy, anger, and fear, unintentionally writes an unstoppable plan for David to be the next king of Israel.

    This is God.

    The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; he frustrates the plans of the peoples. — Psalm 33:10

    God, we pray today for our lives, family, and world. We pray that you will frustrate the plans of the wicked and that we will never walk in their way. When the wicked conspire against you and us, their wickedness will be turned against them and revealed as the path and plan for the obedient. Amen.

    Ask This:
    1. How have you experienced God's hand in turning your challenges or successes into opportunities for growth and more significant purpose? Reflect on a time when what seemed like a setback became a part of God's more excellent plan for you.
    2. How can you respond to opposition or jealousy with faith and confidence, knowing that God can use these challenges to fulfill His plans in your life? How might you adjust your attitude or actions to align more closely with God's purpose during times of difficulty?
    Do This:

    Let God frustrate them and reveal his plan for you.

    Pray This:

    Lord, thank you for turning my successes and challenges into opportunities for your greater purpose. Help me remain steadfast and faithful, trusting that you are using every situation to advance your plan and reveal your glory in my life. Amen.
