DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  II SAMUEL 2:6

(6)  And now the LORD shew kindness and truth unto you:  and I also will requite you this kindness, because ye have done this thing.

BE KIND!

Grace be unto you!

Tenderheartedly, it pays to be sentimental to others, for you might not realize that at the point and time in which you display this type of virtue, in the same circumstance, you might be dealing with a messenger of the Lord, who is weighing your actions, to return the kindness you have shown to others.

King Solomon wrote, cf. Proverbs 9:10;  The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,... this is factual, King Saul was envious of David, the son of Jesse, wanted to terminate his life at all cost, therefore, he persecuted him for many years, to avoid being killed by Saul, David hid himself from one cave to another, read 1 Samuel chapters 24-28, lay emphasis on these verses; 24:6; 26:11, David feared the LORD; therefore, he did not kill King Saul, even when he had the chance to do so;  my question to you is, if you happen to be David's shoes, what will be your undertaking?

Regardless of his persecutions, David feared the LORD, so God protected him from the sword of his enemies, on a couple of occasions, David had the opportunity to slay King Saul, but he did not lay hands upon him, because King Saul was chosen and anointed by God;  to iterate on the point, David spared the life of King Saul, not because he was afraid to slay him, but he left him alone on both occasions because he feared the LORD, who anointed Saul as the King of Israel;  therefore, it is the heart issue, actions and behaviors portray who the person is in the spirits, for example, if you fear the LORD, you will look at  circumstances in righteousness, no matter what may be, you will trust in him to handle your issues.

Eventually, the LORD granted David victory over his enemies; King Saul died at a battlefield, cf. 1 Samuel 31:5-6;  on a note;  fear the LORD, for, it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God, cf. Hebrews 10:31;  judgementally, King Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD, even against the word of the LORD; which he kept not, and for asking counsel from a familiar spirit to enquire of it, and inquired not from the LORD; so, he slew him, and turned the kingdom over to David, the son of Jesse, cf. Chronicles 10:13-14;  my dear reader, God is not a respecter of man, fear him, and be kind to others. 

Beloved, so King Saul died, and when the men of Jabeshgilead heard of it, they came and took his corpse and that of his sons, burnt them and buried their bones under a tree in Jabesh, and fasted for seven days: cf. 1 Samuel 31:11-13;  though his death, was a complete victory to David, when he heard about what happened to him and Jonathan, he did not jubilate in victory, instead, lamented over their death, 11 Samuel 1:17;  blessed the men of Jabeshgilead for taken care of their dead bodies; read, 11 Samuel 2:5-7;  therefore, despite the fact that King Saul persecuted David, King David did not pay back evil with evil, but evil with good, he was kind to him even in his death and took care of the rest of his family members. 

The addendum is, no matter your predicaments, trust in the LORD, with all your heart, lean not on your understanding, in all your ways, acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths: cf. Prov. 3:5-6;  if you are a believer, no matter what, Jesus always has a plan for your life, trust in him to deliver you from evil works, work things together for your welfare;  be kind to others, as he is kind towards you.  Love one another, as you Love yourself!  Jesus is coming back again soon!  Amen and Amen!

He that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.  Rev. 3:13.  Peace and Love be unto you!
