1 Sam. 21:15• 15Have I need of mad men, that ye have brought this fellow to play the mad man in my presence? shall this fellow come into my house? (1 Sam. 21:15)
• This man of God in seeking help from Achish had had only a broken reed in hand. Now, instructed by God, he can say: “I sought Jehovah, and He answered me, and delivered me from all my fears” (Psa. 34:4). “This afflicted one called, and Jehovah heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles” (Psa. 34:6). He had learned the lesson that God was teaching him through His discipline. The experience he had just had enabled him to encourage others: “Taste and see that Jehovah is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him!” (Psa. 34:8). (“1 Samuel 21” by H.L. Rossier)
