Luke 15:29 “The son said, ‘Look how many years I’ve stayed here serving you, never giving you one moment of grief, but have you ever thrown a party for me and my friends?” (MSG)
Since, he acted in Love (God), because God is love (1John 4:8, 1John 4:16) he didn’t turn to the Keilah folks to ask if they would protect him, instead he turned to the One that motivated him to act and he got the right answers!
If he had asked from those men, they would have promised him total protection with their own lives, swearing to him in the process. They could’ve even gone as far as taking an oath but God exposed them. Man can always fail but GOD WILL NEVER!
So, why did David look unto God? He looked unto God because he realized God is the only One that can reward appropriately! Hear this:
Luke 10:2 “Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the LORD OF the HARVEST, that he would send forth labourers into HIS HARVEST”
God is the God of the harvest. The Bible says He owns the harvest. No man owns any harvest! Whatever a man gives you is nothing compared to God’s compensation plan. David knew this so well.
He also knew that whatever he did for the people was simply a seed! God alone reserves the sole right to repay or compensate you appropriately.
Friend, forget about the man or woman you did good to but turned around to abuse you. It is in the nature of men to be unthankful.
So relax. Nothing can ever compare to God’s compensation plan. If you do good to a black man it may be a white man that will compensate you.
Jonathan did good to David, it was Mephibosheth that collected the harvest. God sure knows how to bring your harvest. There are seeds you’ve sown that are meant for your children’s children. Don’t be myopic. If you’re favoured by a man, it is not just about him, it is all about God that laid it in His heart.
