‘And Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David, and that Michal Saul's daughter loved him. And Saul was yet the more afraid of David.
‘And Saul became David's enemy continually. Then the princes of the Philistines went forth: and it came to pass, after they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was much set by.’ Here we are as believers in our place of business, or our place of study. And the things for which we stand may be held in contempt, and the things we believe and our words of witness may be rejected. But if we behave ourselves more courteously, more kindly, in every way in a superior manner to worldlings, then it will be noted and well-known and appreciated. If only that could be reflected in all of us. With the world, the flesh, and the devil against us: that we behave ourselves more carefully, so that's many people are affected by our conduct.
