1 Samuel 21-24 – April 14, 2021

Interesting trivia:

David has Moabite blood in his veins, as we learned from his great grandmother, Ruth. (Ruth 1:4) Some believe that David knew that his family would be kept safe in Moab so that is why he asked the king of Moab to allow his family to stay there.

 

1 Samuel 22:3 And David went from there to Mizpah of Moab; and he said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and my mother come and stay with you until I know what God will do for me.”

 

Christianity is communal. Even the great biblical hero, king David needs to rely on his family and his countrymen for help in time of need. We are not designed to take this journey alone. Trust and rely on your fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. They may not be perfect, but they would be very difficult to be around if they were!

 

Hebrews 10:24-25 and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, 25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.

 

Galatians 6:2 Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.

 

Romans 12:13 contributing to the needs of the saints, practicing hospitality.

 

 Today, be someone’s Moab king!
