Will you turn away? Will satan lead your steps? Look at Saul!

Good  morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!!
   It is amazing how short our memory is when we receive help, then become envious or upset we don't receive more help.  Many times if "I" don't get the praise for something, then "I" become upset.  Have you noticed this in people.  Yes, it is called pride, it is called entitlement, it is called many things but the one thing that is not present is GOD!  Letting God lead your thoughts and steps.  How we so push God aside to do "our own thing".  Amazing, huh?!?  
    Not really, when you realize that satan is alive and well, roaming the earth, prince of darkness, prince of this world, it is easy to be steered in the wrong direction by something "enticing" and that looks more appealing.  Wow!  (for scripture click here 1 Samuel 16)
   1 Samuel 16 Saul has an evil spirit; David is chosen by God to relieve this spirit by playing the harp.  1 Samuel 17 David slays Goliath, a 9 foot plus giant with a single stone and he is a hero. Saul loves him.
   1 Samuel 18 Saul hears the women singing Saul slayed thousands, and David ten thousands.  This upsets Saul.  Long story short, David is no longer the "golden haired child" now, but someone Saul envied, began to detest, and then desired to kill David.
   Wow!  How soon one forgets, David, a man of God, delivered the Israelites from the hand of the Philistines; Saul happy and thankful.  Now, David, still a man of God, becomes a fugitive from Saul because of what?  Envy, fear, and the fear of losing "his" kingdom to David.  These elements do strange things to the way people begin to think.  Wow!  Saul, once a great man of God now turning far away from God and what happened?  Things to think about. Have you turned away or against someone through envy, greed, fear, disappointment?  If so, how will you rectify the situation?  Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
