How to Deal with an Enemy. (1 Samuel 26: 1-25)

Send us Fan Mail

Enemies come in all shapes and sizes. Some aren’t violent—just loud. They curse, they criticise, they mutter from the sidelines, but that’s as far as it goes. Others keep their distance but carry a quiet resentment that occasionally surfaces. Some want to just use you or manipulate you. And of course, there are those rare but dangerous enemies who genuinely seek to harm you.

 If you live long enough in this fallen world, you’ll encounter all of them. But that raises a very practical question for the Christian believer: How do you deal with an enemy? How do you respond when someone has set themselves against you?

One of Scripture’s clearest case studies is David, when he found himself persecuted and under great pressure. The way David responds provides us with a deeply challenging, yet deeply instructive picture of how God’s people are to face opposition.
