Joshua 23-24; Job 32; Acts 15:1-21:
summoned all Israel -- their elders, leaders, judges and officials -- and said to them: "I am very old. You yourselves have seen everything the Lord your God has done to all these nations for your sake; it was the Lord your God who fought for you.

Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening"
Morning “Overcome evil with good.” 1 Samuel 24:1-7 , 1 Samuel 24:17-19 1 Samuel 24:1 Everybody was ready to act as a spy upon David. The saints of God are always watched by the world, and this should make them all the more careful in their conduct. 1 Samuel 24:2 Though signally disappointed on former occasions, the envious king must needs be at his cruel work again.

Words to Ponder
We have much fine writing and learned talk about the subjective benefits of prayer; how prayer secures its full measure of results, not by affecting God, but by affecting us, by becoming a training school for those who pray. We are taught by such teachers that the province of prayer is not to get, but to train. Prayer thus becomes a mere performance, a drill-sergeant, a school, in which patience, tranquility, and dependence are all taught. In this school, denial of prayer is its most valuable teacher. How well all of this may look, and how reasonable soever it may seem, there is nothing of it in the Bible. The clear and oft repeated language of the Bible is that prayer is to be answered by God; that God occupies the relation of a father to us, and that as Father he gives to us when we ask the things for which we ask. The best praying, therefore, is the praying that gets an answer. - E.M. Bounds (1835-1913)
