Bible Question: Shalom,brothers and sisters. In the verse 1Sam.24:10,David told Saul " I will not put forth mine hand against my lord, for he is the Lord's anointed" David told this to Saul every time David had a chance to kill Saul. Now with the teachings of the Lord in the new testament, could those words also be used when speaking against someone? In other words, since Christians are anointed by Jesus, if a person speaks slander, lies, etc. against the christian, wouldn't that be the same as putting forth their hand against the anointed of the Lord? God bless, michael |
Bible Answer: 1 Sam 24:12 "May the LORD judge between you and me, and may the LORD avenge me on you; but my hand shall not be against you. The short answer is that David sought to please the Lord. Saul was unreasonable and suspicious of David and tormented him to the point of trying to kill him. David on many occasions had been spared from Saul's men by the Lord. I am sure he was frustrated with Saul and on more than one occasion could have ended Saul's life. He chose rather to leave it to the Lord. As an application to our lives today, if we continually seek to please the Lord He will vindicate us of lies and slander against us if we like David leave it to the Lord. We must always be in constant prayer and walk in faith through the power of the Holy Spirit. Staying close to our Lord in daily bible reading and prayer is the best defense. |
