So Michal let David down through a window: and he
went, and fled, and escaped. 1 Samuel 19:11-12
Yesterday, we studied how Saul tried to kill David
but David escaped. When David escaped from Saul, he ran to his house. He did not
know that Saul-his enemy was coming after Him. He did not also know that God
had already arranged the way of escape for him again. When he got home, his
wife, Michal who was Saul’s daughter
revealed to him that her father, Saul was coming to kill him.
Can you imagine that it was an insider in Saul’s
house that revealed that to David. Many times as believers, before God allows you to
face trials, He has already packaged the solution. Child of God get ready, this
month, the Lord will reveal to you things you need to know concerning that
situation you are facing and He will also show you the way of escape.
Michal tied David with a rope and lowered him
through the window so that he could escape. she then made an image that looked
like David and put it on the bed. In verse 12, the Bible says “and he escaped
again in the same night”.
After he had escaped, Saul sent people to kill
David, when they got to his house, the wife Michal told them he was asleep and
they sat outside his gate till the following morning. When they entered the
house in the morning, to carry David, they saw an image. David had long
escaped.
As you go through this year, God will beat the
devil in his own game. Every trap, device, imagination of the enemy; every
temptation against your business would fail.
Saul tried so many times to kill David but at every
time, God always made a way of escape for David. You may wonder why Saul was
bent on killing David? It was because of the anointing on David’s head.
In Psalm
23, David said, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for thou art with
me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou
anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. …”
David was confident in God because He knew God was
with Him and would always make a way of escape for him. God will prepare tables
for you in the presence of your enemies. You will escape.
Prayer/Confession: In the name of Jesus, satan loose
your grip and hold from my life and everything that concerns me. You temptation
I am facing in my body, in my marriage, in my life, in my job, I command the
trap to break in the name of Jesus, Amen.
