I Samuel 19:18
“David made good his escape and went to Samuel at Ramah and told him everything Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel withdrew to the privacy of Naioth.”
“So David escaped and went to Ramah to see Samuel, and he told him all that Saul had done to him. Then Samuel took David with him to live at Naioth.”
God provided a bridge for David from royal favorite to outlaw. David ran to God’s prophet Samuel and received the comfort, resolve and confidence he needed for the next phase of his life. God knew David’s future and the need to grow quickly into a leader and administrator. David’s life was very hard at this point and about to get harder. God stool in the gap, giving what David needed for the next step.
Lord, looking back I can see you standing in the gaps in my life. Thank you for that faithfulness. May I always trust in it. I expect you will continue to challenge me in faith and conduct. Make me ready!
