Some weeks ago I wrote a particular person in office of the United States of America that God would do a work of releasing someone from office to make way for the new. I was referring to the end of 1 Samuel and the Ziklag incident and the chapters afterward running into 2 Samuel.

Then earlier this week I wrote the same person, going into detail of the Ziklag experience and what unfolded in the weeks afterward according to the Word of God. The following is much what I wrote, but not all.

“As the days and weeks were nearing for David to take his rightful throne (and he was building/progressing as he waited) a most terrible and horrific thing happened to him.  He was already dealing with thoughts of rejection when he arrived back at his camp and home.  His home was in the city of Ziklag and you can read this account in 1 Samuel chapters 30 and 31. 

When David got back to his home, everything had been stolen from him.  He not only lost his possessions, but he lost his wives.  He was devastated.  In fact, his men even talked of stoning him through their bitter tears.  Every man wept with great fervency for their hearts had been torn to shreds.  But get this . . . after such pain and wandering about looking at the destruction of his home and all he had ardently worked for, David encouraged himself in the Lord!  Then he came up with a plan!

But the summary of this story is that (and please listen carefully with your heart) after king David got back everything and much, much more king Saul was taken out of the picture by the hand of God. 

1) After Saul was taken out, someone who was part of his camp (family or party [in so many words] was

2) put in position to rule (or seemingly so) and continue usurping David’s rightful throne.  This had to happen!  It was the Hand of God to further expose and wind the whole mess up!  This wrongful placement did not last long (truly, a short time) and after God revealed to David the plan it wasn’t long

3) David became enthroned in the fulfillment of the ALMIGHTY’s Words spoken by the prophet and he sat on his rightful throne.“

God makes it very clear in His Word that what has happened in the past in His Word recorded are examples of things that we can look back on and relate to what is going on in our lives.

As I wrote the person these things that I have now recorded on this site, I couldn’t help but think of the chapter endings of 1 Samuel. Chapters 30 and 31. I’m looking to see the last two days of this month to see if anything unfolds. I’m not saying anything will, but I’m listening. What is God telling you?

Many blessings to you all!!

In Him,
