Wrong Place To Rest
TOPIC: WRONG PLACE TO REST
READ 1 SAMUEL 26:4-12
MEMORISE: Get up, go away! For this is not your resting place, because it is defiled, it is ruined, beyond all remedy. (Micah 2:10)
Message
While everyone was troubled by the mighty tempest on the sea, Jonah was gone down into the sides of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep (Jonah 1:5). While the whole realm of Shushan was perplexed because of Haman's vociferous wicked indictment against the Jews, though in particular, the opposition was against Mordecai, this same for Haman sat down with the king to drink and merry (Esther 3:15).
And while King Saul had cannily turned David to a restless fugitive, there he was, resting and sleeping at a wrong place (1 Sam 26:7). You might say that that serves Saul right, but David knew better. Wrong place for the anointed king to be found resting! Behold a believer, anointed in Christ, found walking by the counsel of the ungodly, standing in the way of sinners, and sitting in the seat of the scornful. What a wrong place of resting! Every wrong associate you keep [like that of Samson and Delilah] endangers your soul and opens you up to destruction, sometimes irreversibly. Be wise!
Ahithophel, the anointed counselor of David was found in the council of the rebel Absalom. The same Judas Iscariot found resting with the God-forsaken,envious, rebellious religious leaders of Jesus' days on earth. Both of them suffered similar fate: they died shamefully. Don't rest in the camp of God's enemies. You can't survive being declared an enemy of God. Avoid evil companionship that corrupts good manners. Watch out as you sit, rest, and discuss today and always.
PRAYER POINTS:
1. I refuse to be found resting/relaxing where I shouldn't, in Jesus' name.
2. I dissociate myself from every ungodly influence that can send my life into abyss, in the name of Jesus.
3. Pray that the Almighty God will make the legal luminaries both at the bar and in the bench to be more conscientious and godly in the delivery of their services.
