“And the evil spirit from the Lord was upon
Saul, as he sat in his house with his javelin in his hand: and David played
with his hands.” 1 Sam 19:9
Interesting
choice of instruments between Saul and David; Saul chose a javelin, while David
played a harp. It was Saul’s jealously against
David that lead to his choice. David's troubles not only immediately follow his
triumphs, but arise from them; such is the vanity of him (Saul) which looks to
be served rather than serve. It is said that idle hands are the devil’s play
things, obviously David’s hands were busy serving, thus satan had no access to
them; were as Saul’s hands succumbed to grasping a javelin in order to kill (1
Sam 18:11). As a musician, whose hands
are callous from serving others through their music, Jesus hands were scared
from serving you. What are your hands
holding, Saul’s were destructive; make sure it’s something worth giving to others?
If not, let it go!
That,
which you hold on to, has a hold on you.
