*WISDOM FOR TODAY.*
*WHICH WAY AND HOW? (2)*
*Scripture Treasure.*
1 Sam 24: 4-6 *And the men of David said unto him, Behold the day of which the Lord said unto thee, Behold, I will deliver thine enemy into thine hand, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good unto thee. Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul's robe privily.*
*And it came to pass afterward, that David's heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt.*
*And he said unto his men, The Lord forbid that I should do this thing unto my master, the Lord's anointed, to stretch forth mine hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the Lord.*
*Insight and Highlight.*
You are blessed when you want nothing more than to share God's love with all you encounter.
*Scripture Commentaries.*
Yesterday we looked at how though David achieved his goal getting to Ahimelech and King Achish of Gath, the means he employed was lack of his faith in God and his visit to Ahimelech caused the death of many innocent priests.
Today, we will look at how employing righteous means will justify our end goals.
When your means justify your ends, you are considerate. You have behaved and achieved your goal as if you really cared.
People may not know how much we care until we show them by the way we care for them.
There must be something or someone we fear that should guide our mode of conduct in life.
Saul was after David. David showed us that killing Saul was not a good idea because he feared God who anointed him through Samuel.
The same oil that was on Saul was on him, the same Samuel who anointed him anointed Saul, the same God who ordained him ordained Saul to be king and both of them over the same nation, Israel.
David was not deliberating on whichever way and how, but he was considering which way is best and how in order to achieve his goal of triumphing over Saul
Whichever is best and how should be our approach rather than whichever way and how.
When we look for whichever is best and how to go about it shows a person who has done due diligence ensuring no harm is done to himself and others.
However, if we look for whichever way and how it shows a person who does not care as long as he finds anyway and anyhow he can achieve his end.
Such are people who believe that if a goal is morally important enough, any method of getting it is acceptable.
If getting rich is so important to them, any method of getting wealthy is acceptable.
Employ righteous means. It is Godly!

Help me to seek the ways of the righteous. Make me a perfect man, in Jesus name.
Good morning all, and have a blessed day today.
God bless you.
