Ep. 133: A Behind the Scenes Look at the Lord’s Hand at Work

SHOW NOTES:

 

In Podcast Episode 133, “A Behind the Scenes Look at the Lord’s Hand at Work,” Kim discusses glimpse this week’s scriptures provide a behind the scenes look at the Lord’s hand at work for David. And, if the Lord worked on David’s behalf, how comforting this should be that the Lord will work on your behalf in your challenging circumstances. 

The primary scripture text for this episode is 1 Samuel  19:8-24 with focal verses 12-13, 20, 23:

 

12 So she helped him climb out through a window, and he fled and escaped. 13 Then she took an idol and put it in his bed, covered it with blankets, and put a cushion of goat’s hair at its head.

 

20 he sent troops to capture him. But when they arrived and saw Samuel leading a group of prophets who were prophesying, the Spirit of God came upon Saul’s men, and they also began to prophesy.

 

23 But on the way to Naioth in Ramah the Spirit of God came even upon Saul, and he, too, began to prophesy all the way to Naioth!

 

Additional Verses:

 

Truly, O God of Israel, our Savior,

    you work in mysterious ways. (Isaiah 45:15)
