What Can Man Do to Me?

Saul searched for him, but God did not give David into his hands. (1 Samuel 23:14, NIV 1984)

My Musings – In a world that is increasingly hostile to Christians, do not allow yourself to be consumed with fear. They may search for ways to harm us, but whether or not we are given over to their hands is entirely up to God. David was delivered. John the Baptist was not. Both fulfilled their God given purpose, and both brought glory to God. Both have a Heavenly reward.

My Advice – “Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.” (Matthew 10:27–28, NIV 1984). “Because God has said, ‘Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.’ So, we say with confidence, ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?'” (Hebrews 13:5–6, NIV 1984).

When you face danger because of your faith in Christ, remember – “but God.”
