Just Thinking

And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the Lord was with him.
1 Samuel 18:14

Then the princes of the Philistines went forth: and it came to pass, after they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was much set by. 1 Samuel 18:30

I woke up Saturday morning with the phrase, "he behaved himself wisely in all his ways". Yes, there was reason for this phrase to be going through my head; and no, I'm not sharing. Samuel was a man of constant prayer and the theme with David seems to be that his behavior fit with his faith.

Just thinking this reminds me of the Christmas tune, "Put one foot in front of the other and soon you'll be walking out the door". Little steps--big steps--just keep going.

Someone at work really hurt my feelings Friday; my eyes stung with tears. I replied nicely and my first impulse was to run to my friend and tell her what happened. But I didn't; I heard the voice to keep quiet and give the other person some grace.

Just thinking it would have been an insignificant step for some; but for me it was big step.

I'm playing Christmas music this weekend. In the book of Samuel, when Saul would be filled with an evil spirit, they would call upon David to play for him. It would soothe his soul. That's what Christmas music does for me--soothes me.

Just thinking I would be a good candidate to live in the North Pole--with Santa of course!
