Spontaneous Decision Making
Pastor Wesley & Yajhna Sing · 2 min read
“Then David stood at the mouth of the cave and called to Saul, “My master! My king!” Saul looked back. David fell to his knees and bowed in reverence. He called out, “Why do you listen to those who say ‘David is out to get you’? This very day with your very own eyes you have seen that just now in the cave GOD put you in my hands. My men wanted me to kill you, but I wouldn’t do it. I told them that I won’t lift a finger against my master—he’s GOD’s anointed. Oh, my father, look at this, look at this piece that I cut from your robe. I could have cut you—killed you!—but I didn’t.’ So be assured that my hand won’t touch you.”
David was now anointed to be king instead of Saul, yet his respect for Saul never waned. He respected Saul and honoured him as king. Saul was out to kill David, but this did not deter David in any way. It was a spontaneous decision on his part to protect Saul even though his men encouraged him to kill Saul. The cost of killing Saul was too high for David. He had been taught to honour and respect the king. He was tempted to kill Saul. His trust in God was too strong to be tempted with evil.
My friend and family, be so filled with the spirit of God and his power that when you have to make spontaneous decisions, you draw from the anointing within you. This kind of decision protects you and your future. It is based on the word and can never fail.
