1 Samuel 27
David Guzik · Citado em PreceptAustin
1 Samuel 27
Guzik - What we say in our heart has a tremendous power to shape our thinking, our actions, even our whole destiny. I shall perish someday by the hand of Saul: This is what David said in his heart. That was a word of discouragement coming from a heart tired of trusting God for His continued deliverance. In his discouragement David forgot God’s past deliverance.
1 Samuel 27
Guzik has an interesting point about the David's sin of lying to cover up the truth - Much later in his life, David will have a far more notorious season of sin with Bathsheba and end up killing her husband Uriah to cover his sin. Though that later event is far more famous, the root of sin that nourished it began way back in 1 Samuel 27. Here, many years before David killed Uriah to cover his sin, David killed these men and women in his raids to cover his sin. The roots of sin must be dealt with or they come back with greater strength. (ED: Sin's have a way of giving birth to similar sins and which tend to gravitate to greater severity!) John
