DRBP_May31_2014 1Sam21-22 Ps104a Rom8a


As David flees from Saul, he goes for help to Ahimelech the priest. He needed food and wanted to consult with the Lord, and it happened that he also got Goliath's sword there. All this resulted later in Ahimilech's death and the deaths of all of Ahimilech's family.

 

Psalm 104 is a companion with Psalm 103. This psalm also starts and ends with the same refrain, the same one as in Psalm 103. This psalm expounds on the majesty of God.

 

The power behind the new lives that God wants us to live is the Holy Spirit. A side observation here: We can see that the Holy Spirit can equally be called the Spirit of God and the Spirit of Christ (vs. 9-11). Having God's Spirit in our lives does not mean that we will not suffer. In the second half of today's reading, note the Holy Spirit's role for us in the midst of our sufferings.
