I am often asked where I find my inspiration for sermons - this is one place. I believe God speaks to me daily and this is a place where you can look over my shoulder as I write some notes to myself as we journey towards Sunday . . .

Day 99 a note from God: I Samuel 25-27
But David said to Abishai, “Don’t destroy him! Who can lay a hand on the LORD’s anointed and be guiltless? As surely as the LORD lives,” he said, “the LORD himself will strike him, or his time will come and he will die, or he will go into battle and perish.
I Samuel 26:9-10 NIV
We often hear the phrase "taking justice into my own hands."
In this instance we see someone who has the opportunity, but passes instead leaving justice to God.
In our lives, we so want the wicked and the evil to be punished.
David teaches us today to let go of our need for justice.
David teaches us that God's justice will come - not always in our timing, but always in God's perfect timing.
Let go of your feelings of judgement today.
Turn them over to God and wait upon His justice.
You have more important things to with your life.
Besides, as ye' judge - so will ye' be judged.
May God's justice reign in your life and mine.
