There was a time in the bible when Saul was hunting after David to kill him, but every time God would make an escape for David.
One of the reason that Saul wanted to kill David was, because he was anointed, won many victories which made David evident to be the next king, which Saul couldn’t take it in.
But there was one time when Saul came in to a cave to rest, and David had the opportunity to kill him in the middle of the night but he refused to touch Saul because he honoured the fact that God had anointed him as the king.
But when Saul got to know this, he cried.
When David exercised Godly principles, it made Saul to repent.
When you don’t overstep the boundaries that is outside of what God has ordained for you, even your enemies will try to humble themselves.
May our lives not just be ordinary but extraordinary to be seen by others.
It’s normal to hurt when you are hurt, but what David did was an example before Jesus taught us. Now we have the greater example of Jesus, the forgiveness that He has given us that enables us to forgive others, the instructions from Apostle Paul to live a merciful life, now we do not have an excuse to live an ordinary life.
We are not to repay evil for evil, but good and to pray and bless those who persecute us and if we live by these godly principles, God will end up crowing and anointing us.
Become intentional of doing what God has asked you to do and you will see the reward coming.

Feel For Him
Acts 17:27 (GNT)
He did this so that they would look for him, and perhaps find him as they felt around for him. Yet God is actually not far from any one of us.
Lock the Door
Matthew 23:13 (GNT)
““How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You lock the door to the Kingdom of heaven in people’s faces, but you yourselves don’t go in, nor do you allow in those who are trying to enter!”
Psalm 147:2–3 reveals God's heart as a Restorer rather than a Punisher. Although Israel went into exile because of its own rebellion, God did not abandon His people. Instead, He promised to restore Jerusalem, bring the exiles home, heal the brokenhearted, and bind up their wounds.
The message reminds us that while God may use friends, pastors, counselors, or loved ones to help us, true healing and restoration ultimately come from the Lord. His restoration reaches every part of our lives—our hearts, relationships, health, finances, emotions, and spiritual walk.
God knows every wound, including those hidden from others. Unlike people, who can only comfort from the outside, He sees the deepest parts of our hearts and heals completely. His healing is so complete that even the scars of past pain lose their power to define us.
The devotion encourages believers to fix their eyes on God instead of relying solely on human help. No matter how far someone has drifted, how many mistakes they have made, or how broken they feel, God is still calling them back. His desire is to restore, heal, and make all things beautiful in His perfect timing.
