3/11/2019 Day 70 1 Samuel 21:1 – 24:22
Reflection:
David escapes the assassination attempt that Saul has planned
and hides in a cave; Saul feels a conspiracy and orders the killing
of the priests that conspire and finds someone to carry out his order;
David gets word that a Philistine city is being attacked and talks with
God and then carries out the attack. Saul is spared from attack from
David’s forces by David’s order; Saul and David reach an accord - Saul
asked that his legacy be preserved and David agrees.

Meditation/Contemplate:
Do right even when people think you are doing wrong. Truth always
outs in the end.
Prayer:
O Lord our Governor, whose glory is in all the world: We commend
this nation to thy merciful care, that, being guided by thy Providence,
we may dwell secure in thy peace. Grant to the President of the United
States, the Governor of this State (or Commonwealth), and to all in
authority, wisdom and strength to know and to do thy will. Fill them
with the love of truth and righteousness, and make them ever mindful
of their calling to serve this people in thy fear; through Jesus Christ our
Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God,
world without end. Amen. (BCP)

Almighty and everlasting God, you hate nothing you have made and
forgive the sins of all who are penitent: Create and make in us new and
contrite hearts, that we, worthily lamenting our sins and
acknowledging our wretchedness, may obtain of you, the God of all
mercy, perfect remission and forgiveness; through Jesus Christ our
Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God,
forever and ever. Amen. (BCP)
