"And David behaved wisely in all his ways, and the LORD was with him....But all Israel and Judah loved David because he went out and came in before them."
I Samuel 18:14, 16
Two times in this chapter it says that David "behaved wisely" (vs. 5). What does it mean to behave wisely? I think it refers to David's spirit. He did not become proud and arrogant when he defeated the giant, nor when the king's son loved him, nor when the people adored him. Nor did he become bitter and vengeful when Saul hated him and tried to kill him (vss. 10-11). Keeping a good spirit in prosperity and adversity is the key to behaving wisely, and is attractive to others.
Today's Thought: A person behaves wisely when he is not proud in success nor bitter in adversity.
Have a "good-spirit" day. Love you.
