These are troubling times. When Philistines oppress the Jews at Keilah then David takes his fighting men and drives the enemy away. (1 Samuel 23:5) When the Philistines raid the land then Saul takes his fighting men and opposes the enemy. (1 Samuel 23:28)
The scripture describes an almost laughable scene in which Saul and his fighting men are on one side of a mountain and David, together with his men, are on the other side of the mountain. Saul's men are in hot pursuit; and David's men are hurrying to get away. (1 Samuel 23:26) Which leader cares for the welfare of the nation?
So what of our leaders today? How much of their time and effort is spent in political infighting, and how much is directed toward our community, state, nation, and world?
Dear God, bless and help the leaders of this and every land.
