The Rock of Escape
Today’s Reading: 1 Samuel 23:26-28
Focal Verse: 1 Samuel 23:28
Therefore Saul returned from pursuing David, and went against the Philistines; so they called that place the Rock of Escape.
Do you feel on the edge of defeat? Like you are encircled by the enemy? There is One who is greater than any enemy, and He is the One who provided an escape for David.
In 1588, the Spanish Armada entered the English Channel with 130 ships and 30,000 men. The Armada seemed undefeatable, but Sir Francis Drake did what he could to break up their formation. What really turned the tide of the battle, however, was a storm sent by God. As the Armada tried to escape by sailing around Ireland, the fierce storm destroyed much of the fleet. What had looked like an eminent defeat, God turned into a decisive victory.
God providentially made a way of escape for David from what appeared to be eminent defeat. He still does the same for His people today. He truly is the Rock of Escape.
Think of a time when He was your Rock of Escape. Thank Him for His incredible grace.
