Today's readings are Psalm 92.1-9, 1 Samuel 20.1-23, and Acts 28.16-31.
We can never know for certain where we will find support and where we will find criticism. David, accepted into the household of Saul, is put to flight by the king he has honored. Yet he is aided and protected by the son of the king - the very person who has the most to gain from David's demise. Paul continues to see a mix of acceptance and rejection by the Jews, his kinsmen who would recognize his training and experience. In the final analysis, we look to the Lord for support and care. We will find help no other place. Let us trust in our Lord Jesus Christ who has borne all our sins and clothed us with his perfect righteousness. We need nothing more. We can know that he will never leave us or forsake us.
