My Name Is History

"My Name is History" My name is History I’m here to take you back in time To a land called Israel. I desire to teach you a spiritual truth about two men. I sincerely hope God will burn it into your mind! One was a young shepherd boy by the name of David The other was an older man, his name was King Saul. The things that happened between the two of them I see it repeating itself in many Christians today. Saul was a disobedient King who felt threatened by the lad, He was very angry, jealous, and full of envy, wrath, and strife! He was so blinded by sin that he tried many times to take David’s life. But David was a very wise young man, Against the Lord’s anointed he would never stretch forth his hand. David humbled himself and kept trusting in God by faith. He never tried to split the Kingdom himself But on the Lord he would patiently wait. Although he had done nothing against Saul And Saul was the one who was in the wrong David never took matters into his own hand, He always turned and went the other way. He did not try to convince others who was right or who was wrong. He was wise enough to just leave it alone. Now what David did not know was this God was using Saul though Saul never knew he had a part To make and keep David, the man after God’s own heart! David was learning then what he would need when he was older When his own Son, Absalon, a young man would rise up against him. David could then look back on his past spiritual history When he trusted in God to keep him from wavering and taking a fall: David knew from his own personnel experience That God was still in control of it all. Listen to me Church, because my name is History Without a doubt I know what I’m talking about. There’s a spiritual lesson to learn from these two men even today And it is this: God uses other men like Saul’ To help crucify our fleshly outward Saul And then cast it away. Remember, my name is History so take heed to what I say! God’s Word bears record of what I’ve said is the truth! Let God make you the man or the woman after his own heart By using the outward Saul Who wars from against me and you to keep us in the Faith! Selah, and Amen. Evangelist and Christian Author Clyde C.
