| The Burning of Ziklag — Part 3 |
| “For who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part alike. And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day” (1 Samuel 30:24-25). |
| As soon as there is a victory for the Lord in our life, Satan is right there to spoil it in some way. He wants to drag us down to defeat. He wants us to give up! But remember, David had been in the presence of the Lord, and inquired of Him what he should do and how he should act. This is the great lesson for us. When we are truly dependent and obedient to the Lord, then He will give clear and specific direction and cause us to have a proper spirit and attitude. |
| David then gives direction that the spoil is to be divided between all who went to the battle and all who had stayed behind — as well as gifts for the elders of Judah, his friends, and many others in various places. (Read verses 26-31). |
| Let’s pray that we have the same alertness to the mind of the Lord and the same attitude of grace that David displayed. He certainly was a great man of faith. |
