many troubles

The righteous person faces many troubles, but the Lord comes to the rescue each time.

Psalms 34:19 NLT

David was having to pretend to be insane to save himself from King Achish, however he thanks the Lord for his deliverance. Have we ever pretended to be something else in order to escape danger or a trap? I remember being almost caught in a trap because I had been foolish and went somewhere with a person I didn't know(I was 18). He had a sexual encounter planned, I realised my mistake just in time and talked about my boyfriend, non-stop (this was before I met Jesus- after then I would have talked about Jesus). It saved me, and I learned a lesson.

Avoidance of traps is so much safer and better with the Lord, He is our best protection. He goes before us and He warns us.

David trusted in the Lord to deliver him. In verse 8 he says:

Taste and see that the Lord is good, how happy is the man who takes refuge in Him!

Wisdom dictates that there are things we should avoid,  and we should not tempt God by deliberately placing ourselves in danger. This is maturity! Amen!
