“But a messenger came to Saul, saying ‘Hurry and come, for the Philistines have made a raid on the land.’” (1 Samuel 23:27)
When Saul pursued David in the wilderness of Maon, it seemed as if all hope was lost. Saul was closing in, and David’s band of warriors were quickly becoming surrounded on all sides. As the walls closed in and the noose tightened, Saul received a message that led him away.
I don’t know the name of the messenger, but I know Who sent it. God has a way of protecting His people in unexpected ways. Don’t waste your life worrying – God has a zillion ways to redeem and rescue His people. There is no worst case scenario for those who belong to Jesus.
