I find an interesting pondering
Looking throughout the years
The strongest and meekest of Christian
Can rise with devastating austere.
Admired and gifted from Heaven
With destiny and favor and more
Can be strong in the eyes of humans
Yet turn weak in the eyes of the Lord.
For as Saul with David in a moment
Changed forever the life of the King
For it could have been so very different
Yet Saul swore to kill from jealousy.
A life cost a life cost a country
A heritage forever changed
Loss by way of procurement
Now heard when the Psalmist would play.
Overtaken by darkened spirits
This friend would come and play
Anointed David poured love in
And demons would flee far away
You’d think at a point Saul would bow down
With repentance that caused him to cry
Instead his life was devoted
To kill a man once loved, now despised.

David Serves Saul
…22Saul sent to Jesse, saying, “Let David now stand before me, for he has found favor in my sight.” 23So it came about whenever the evil spirit from God came to Saul, David would take the harp and play it with his hand; and Saul would be refreshed and be well, and the evil spirit would depart from him.1 Samuel 16:22-23
Saul Envies David
…9Saul looked at David with suspicion from that day on. 10Now it came about on the next day that an evil spirit from God came mightily upon Saul, and he raved in the midst of the house, while David was playing the harp with his hand, as usual; and a spear was in Saul’s hand. 11Saul hurled the spear for he thought, “I will pin David to the wall.” But David escaped from his presence twice.…1 Samuel 18:10
