"Thus Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David, and that Michal, Saul's daughter loved him; and Saul was still more afraid of David. So Saul became David's enemy continually."
I Samuel 18:28-29
Saul watched David and saw his pure life, and he knew that God's blessing was on David. David was a thorn to Saul because Saul was not living a life pleasing to God. David's life was in contradistinction to Saul. So Saul hated David. The person who lives for God can expect that ungodly people will not love, nor even like, him because his life highlights the sinner's sin. The godly life is at odds with the ungodly. There will be conflict. But the goal of the Believer is to be loved by God, not the world. We shouldn't be surprised when the world rejects us.
Today's Thought: The godly life brings conviction to the ungodly.
Have a godly day. Love you.
