A Psalm of David When He Pretended Madness Before Abimelech, Who Drove Him Away, and He Departed. I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make its boast in the LORD; The humble shall hear of it and be glad. Oh, magnify the LORD with me, And let us exalt His name together.
How often do I depend on my own scheming to get me out of an undesirable situation. Yes, David was fleeing from Saul—good. But he turned to a Philistine and faked insanity—not good. Lesson 1: if I'm in a jam, do not under any circumstances depend on my own wisdom to get me out. Quite often It was that 'wisdom' that got me into the problem in the first place.
Stay tuned for tomorrow's edition.
