Today's scripture is the continued story of David. Goliath has been beaten and David is a hero. However things are not as good for David as he would've liked. He has a new enemy and this enemy is not a Philistine - he is hated by Saul his King. Saul is jealous of David and even tries to kill him.
David would expect the Philistines to hate him, but not his own. He eventually escapes Saul's clutches and runs for his life.
This situation can so often happen today. I guess we expect non believers to be suspicious of us, and even not want to associate with us due to bad press. However, so often we find the people that are against us are more likely to be other Christians. As Christians we don't talk about things, we sweep things under the carpet and end up talking to others instead of the people that the problem lies with. We need to be bold enough to talk to one another and get any problems sorted. We need to make sure that we are honourable before one another and more importantly before God.
If you are reading this and know in your heart that you have a problem with your brother or sister in Christ - please talk to them, please sort it out. Let's not give Satan any footholds into our walk with God and unity with one another. Let's face it, if you talk to the person there's a great possibility that they are not even aware of the problem.
