1st Samuel 21:13 And he changed his behavior before them, and feigned himself mad in their hands, and scrabbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down upon his beard. 14 Then said Achish unto his servants, Lo, you see the man is mad: wherefore then have you brought him to me?
The Christian has to practice speaking the truth in difficult, and even dangerous circumstances, as it is currently. We would have to trust God, and let the chips fall where they may. Your firm decision to be truthful, in every situation is a must, for if we leave truth up to chance we would become the sport of circumstances. Satan specializes in structuring situations so that the default setting would be falsehood, in order to save oneself from any undesirable outcome.
This he has done on numerous occasions, and with alarming success, for it is one of his devices, referred to in the Scriptures. Especially would this be the case moving forward, as many will be tempted to resort to plan B, meaning, that some might consider employing falsehoods, to avoid an uncomfortable situation, to say the least. We must always keep in mind that it’s the truth that will set you free, never falsehood.
Trusting in God, in the fullest sense, is not always an easy matter, and there will be those times when the Christian would find himself between a rock, and a hard place. “Fear not” is God’s word to us today, as we face mounting challenges on every side. In fact, the phrase “fear not” is written in the Bible about 170 times, for a valid reason.
1st Samuel 20:3 And David swore moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knows that I have found grace in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as the Lord lives, and as thy soul lives, there is but a step between me and death.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
