Session 194: 1Samuel 21-2Samuel 1 - “A Eucharistic Reference” | “What To Do When You Are Persecuted.”

21:7 “bread of the Presence!”  (RSV-2CE)  God is PRESENT in the bread.

21:3 David lied,
25:22 and 2Sam 1:1-15 David had a severe anger problem,but God can still use him and forgive him.  (Even the best if us sins!  Repent, ask for forgiveness, and move back to God.)

28:7-20 (NOT COVERED IN THE RECORDING) Saul consulted a witch, showing once again that he did not trust God.  Modern-day Exorcists tell us that consulting mediums, ouija boards, horoscopes, etc opens the door toward demon possession.

When David was hunted by Saul and hiding in a cave, he prayed!  Psalms 142 and 57 are attributed to David, describing this event.  David prayed while a fugitive in the desert in Chapter 24 (see Psalm 63, also attributed to David.) Good advice for us today, in times of distress!

David respected Saul’s anointed POSITION as King, (could easily have killed Saul several times but showed forbearance) as we must show respect to our priests, bishops, and government leaders, even when we may disagree with them.

2Sam 1:26 David was not gay!  This is an example of twisting scripture to fit your morals, instead of the other way around.
