Reading 1 Samuel 21:1-14 (NLT) ~ Scripture reading followed by discussion. David showing fear and operating in survival mode. Gath, Goliath’s hometown, was a dangerous place to seek refuge from Saul. Psalms 56 was written about this time. Matthew 12:1-8, Jesus references this moment in history when confronting the Pharisees who accused the disciples of breaking the sabbath by picking grain and eating it. Leviticus 24:9 is the law regarding the Holy Bread. When we run around make decision in self-preservation mode, we can find ourselves in worse situations than we started in. Go to God for guidance always in faith that He will deliver.
