(삼상19:1-24)
1 Saul told his son Jonathan and all the attendants to kill David. But Jonathan was very fond of David 2 and warned him, "My father Saul is looking for a chance to kill you. Be on your guard tomorrow morning; go into hiding and stay there. 3 I will go out and stand with my father in the field where you are. I'll speak to him about you and will tell you what I find out." 4 Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father and said to him, "Let not the king do wrong to his servant David; he has not wronged you, and what he has done has benefited you greatly. 5 He took his life in his hands when he killed the Philistine. The LORD won a great victory for all Israel, and you saw it and were glad. Why then would you do wrong to an innocent man like David by killing him for no reason?" 6 Saul listened to Jonathan and took this oath: "As surely as the LORD lives, David will not be put to death." 7 So Jonathan called David and told him the whole conversation. He brought him to Saul, and David was with Saul as before. 8 Once more war broke out, and David went out and fought the Philistines. He struck them with such force that they fled before him. 9 But an evil spirit from the LORD came upon Saul as he was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand. While David was playing the harp, 10 Saul tried to pin him to the wall with his spear, but David eluded him as Saul drove the spear into the wall. That night David made good his escape. 11 Saul sent men to David's house to watch it and to kill him in the morning. But Michal, David's wife, warned him, "If you don't run for your life tonight, tomorrow you'll be killed." 12 So Michal let David down through a window, and he fled and escaped. 13 Then Michal took an idol and laid it on the bed, covering it with a garment and putting some goats' hair at the head. 14 When Saul sent the men to capture David, Michal said, "He is ill." 15 Then Saul sent the men back to see David and told them, "Bring him up to me in his bed so that I may kill him." 16 But when the men entered, there was the idol in the bed, and at the head was some goats' hair. 17 Saul said to Michal, "Why did you deceive me like this and send my enemy away so that he escaped?" Michal told him, "He said to me, 'Let me get away. Why should I kill you?'" 18 When David had fled and made his escape, he went to Samuel at Ramah and told him all that Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel went to Naioth and stayed there. 19 Word came to Saul: "David is in Naioth at Ramah"; 20 so he sent men to capture him. But when they saw a group of prophets prophesying, with Samuel standing there as their leader, the Spirit of God came upon Saul's men and they also prophesied. 21 Saul was told about it, and he sent more men, and they prophesied too. Saul sent men a third time, and they also prophesied. 22 Finally, he himself left for Ramah and went to the great cistern at Secu. And he asked, "Where are Samuel and David?" "Over in Naioth at Ramah," they said. 23 So Saul went to Naioth at Ramah. But the Spirit of God came even upon him, and he walked along prophesying until he came to Naioth. 24 He stripped off his robes and also prophesied in Samuel's presence. He lay that way all that day and night. This is why people say, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"
오늘의 말씀을 읽어내려 가면서 깨닫게 되는 것
그것은
사울에게 역사하는 악령을 하나님께서 보내신 것
요나단 그리고 미갈 까지 준비하심은 ...모두가 하나님의 선언(宣言)을 이루어지게 하기 위함임을 깨닫게 된다

어떻게든지 다윗을 제거하려는 일체의 언행심사(言行心思)
그것이 세상에 알려지면 질수록 사울은 스스로 자신과 가문(家門) 그리고 왕권(王權)의 실추(失墜)는 가속(加速)되게 되어 있음을 보느니...
게다가 다윗이 겪는 모든 일들과 이야기들은 더욱 더 하나님 다윗에게 계획한 그 날이 앞당겨질 터이니...
하나님은
미움 시기 질투 야욕(野慾)을 통해서 다윗을 위험에 빠뜨리고
요나단 미갈의 사랑을 통해서 다윗을 구출하게 만드는
오직 하나님만이 하실 수 있는 방법으로 다윗을 다윗되게 만드는 언약성취(言約成就)의 섭리를 단행하시는 것을 본다
오늘 새벽 나는 내게 묻는다
너는 지금 기울어지는 석양의 시점에 서 있니?
아니면 여명(黎明) ?
그게 아니라면 정오(正午) ?
내 마음은 답하기를
거의 석양(夕陽)에 근접(近接) 그 어느 지점이라고 ...
그렇게 알면서도 ... 다시금 옛 좋았던 시절을 부활부흥(復活復興)을 혹시나 하고 꿈꾸는 나는
아직도 땅에 속한 미련을 다 버리지 못한 욕심쟁이가 아닌가...하는 귀결(歸結)에 도달(到達)한다
세례요한이 한 말이 생각난다
요3:30
“...나는 쇠(衰)하여야 하리라”
그럴 수 있었던 그가 부럽다
아~
마지막 남은 욕심도 버리고 싶다
내게 주어진 세월의 끝자락에서는 아무리 갖고 싶어도 버릴 수 밖에 없는 상황에 직면할 이것
미리 버리고 ... 주님 인도하심에 모든 것을 맡기고 평안의 파도타기로 즐기는 여생(餘生)이 되고 싶은데...
주님!
어찌 안될까요?
제 스스로는 못하고
이 부문 역시 하나님의 은총(恩寵)만이 가능할 것 같으니 ... 말입니다

♬ 바다에 뜨는 별
1. 부서져야 하리 더 많이 부서져야 하리
이 생의 욕심이 하얗게 부서져
소금이 될 때까지
무너져야 하리 더 많이 무너져야 하리
이기적 자아가 푸르른 상처로
질펀히 눕기까지
후 렴
나는 바다되어서 이 땅의 모든 것
미련 없이 다 버리고
하늘의 평화를 얻으리라
슬픔도 괴롬도 씻기고 부서져서
맑고 깊은 바다되어서
모든 부패를 삭히어 주는
맑고 깊은 바다되어서 그 영혼의 바다에
사랑의 별 하나 뜨게 하리
2. 깨어져야 하리 더 많이 깨어져야 하리
교만한 마음이 산산히 부서져
흰 파도될 때까지
씻겨야 하리 더 많이 씻기고 또 씻겨
때가 낀 영혼이 말끔히 씻기어
하늘에 그 얼굴 비추기까지
