”And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him…but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God. And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.“
1 Samuel 30:6-7 KJV
David and his men burst out in loud wails—wept and wept until they were exhausted with weeping. David’s two wives.. had been taken prisoner along with the rest. There was talk among the men, bitter over the loss of their families, of stoning him. David strengthened himself with trust in his God. He ordered Abiathar the priest, son of Ahimelech, “Bring me the Ephod so I can consult God.” Because David was led by God, he was given total recovery and more for he took the spoils of this victory over the Amalekites. In the new covenant, we have been given total victory over the one and only enemy of our soul - the devil. For through the Blood sacrifice of Jesus, we will never experience the wrath of God. While we were still enemies, God fully reconciled us to Himself through the death of His Son, so then something greater than friendship is ours. Now that we are at peace with God, and share in His resurrection life, how much more will we be rescued from sin’s dominion! This is our total victory forever. Hallelujah!
