The Spirit of the LORD departs from Saul and is upon David. It is just amazing how all things work together for good for those who love God. (Rom 8:28) Everything just seems to slide into place. How? God just kind of works things out. It is all worked out so that the one who has lost favor with God comes to be served by the one who has found favor. David eases Saul's spirit by playing sweet music to refresh him and restore him to health and wholeness.
Since most of us know the rest of the story, we remember that David becomes a servant/king just as our Lord, Jesus Christ is a servant/king - a king who died that we might too might be might be healed and be found in God's favor. And... that not in order for us to be high-handed and demanding to be served by others. But, as servants following in the way of Jesus Christ, we live in service to God and to our neighbor.
We thank God this morning for his only begotten Son, who was willing to serve His Father in heaven and all of us who repeatedly put our own desires before the will of our Father, by giving His life for us at Calvary.
