A tangled web:---Saul, Micah, David

Good morning everyone. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO COMPLAIN!!!
    Is not life interesting.  When you look around and watch people, listen to people, and see where their footsteps are taking them, it is both amazing and appalling. What people will do to stay out of trouble or point fingers at someone else, yet, sacrificing others in the process. Qasem Soleimani was a general for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps who has killed over 600 Americans in the last few years, BUT, some Americans think this was wrong.. This is WAR!!
   The Planned Parenthood Organization sees nothing wrong with what they do and push back hard against the Christian beliefs, yet they KILLED over 345,000 babies last year. They feel justified and claim their others benefits are greater than the abortions. These actions are not sanctioned by God, but by satan.  
  The violent and actions against God are ancient actions from the beginning of time through the present.  We, humans, will say and do what ever we need to in order to avoid confrontation, conflict, or punishment.
   In 1 Samuel 19:17, after, yes after Micah warned David about Saul wanting to kill him and letting him out the window to escape she darkens his reputation.  How so you may ask?  Saul's servants come to take David, Micah says he is ill. The message is returned to Saul who says (paraphrase) "so, bring him on his bed so that I may slay him"; but--BUT--Micah has layed an image in the bed with goat hair to resemble a person.  When they return David is not there. Hmmm, not what will happen? Saul asks Micah why have you done this.
  Micah stands up to her father and says.........oh, wait, no---Micah throws Davids reputation under the bus.  How so?  Micah says, "He said unto me, Let me go, why should I kill thee?"  What is she saying? He is saying David threatened to kill her is she did not let him go.
   Was this the truth?  NO!  Micah is saving her husband because she loves him, also, she is saving HER REPUTATION with her father plus probably afraid of her fathers wrath.  Sacrificed David's reputation to save her own with lies.  How often is this done by us, to us?  
    Well, David escapes, goes to Samuel in Ramah, shared what Saul had done to him, then he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth. HOWEVER, someone told Saul where David was and................(to be continued)
   Is it okay to lie?  Sometimes it is as in Corrie Tenboom who saved the lives of Jews in WWII by lying. BUT, to lie in order to deny is wrong.  To lie to justify my actions is wrong.  How often do we tell 'little white lies' to justify or get out of something?  Satan is a beacon of light and when we see the world through his lens nothing is wrong; when we look up and see the 'TRUE LIGHT' of Christ, we will know the difference.  
   If you are in a tangled web as whom we are studying, then turn it over to God and pray for wisdom and knowledge from the most high.  It will be alright!  Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
