Who has their eyes on you?
Saul and David had a great relationship, David had destroyed Saul’s number one enemy sealing he and Saul’s relationship. Then, returning to town one day, the women greeted the two men with a song, giving more credit to David, the servant, instead of Saul the king. I Samuel 18:9 states,
“So Saul eyed David from that day forward.”
I ask who has their eyes on you. Who is it in your circle, laughing with you, smiling at you, hanging out with you, but in all truth is jealous of you. Maybe not even you per se, but of what they see in you. The anointing of God, the favor of God the wisdom of God, or as in David’s (the people cheering for you) case Saul heard and saw his constituent giving more credit to David than himself and assumed David was trying to steal his kingdom.
Don’t take the behavior personally, keep right on loving and serving because God sees all and knows all. We are in a spiritual fight; this is not a flesh n blood, fist 2 fist situation. The spirit knows you have been called for the job and their job is to prevent God’s plan from manifesting. So of course people we call friends, family, co-workers, church members, and acquaintances will be used as pawns against us and us against them if we do not keep our focus on the truth of God’s Word.
Chapter 24 of
I Samuel (6chapters later who knows how many years are involved) Saul finally got it by releasing this statement to David :
“Saul lifted up his voice and wept, saying you are more righteous than I; for you have rewarded me with good, whereas I have rewarded you with evil. Here you have a friend acknowledging they were tripping and you have not done anything to them.
But in chapters 26 Saul is still pursuing David with the intent of killing him but finally realize that his fight was with God not David, Saul ends with this statement;
26:25 “May you be blessed, my son David! You shall do great things.”
Chap 27 starts with;
I shall parish someday by the hand of Saul”
after years of being chased, David did not believe Saul was going to leave him alone. I understand his statement. This so call friend always has something up his/her sleeve; I don’t trust her/him.
Operate out of truth and love, pray for those who use you, lie to you, lie on you, stab you in the back and do all manner of evil against you remembering it is the gift in you they are trying to stop. Keep moving, loving and serving God in all truth….God got you…
Love ya,
