God's commitment to protecting His children is nothing but amazing. There are times when something could have happened that would destroy a child of God, and the Holy Spirit would do something that changes it all. In 1 Samuel chapter 23, Saul, who had spent lots of capital pursuing David with the sole intention of killing him, finally got his opportunity. David was trapped and there was no way of escape from Saul and the army of Israel. Put correctly, he was already a dead man, because Saul was sure to kill him. He must have been saying his last prayers. Then an urgent message came to Saul, saying, hurry and come, for the Philistines have raided the land. This was all God needed to do, and Saul immediately broke off his pursuit of David to go and engage the Philistines.

 

In Esther chapter 3, the Bible says that Haman, king Ahasuerus’ right hand man, hated Mordecai the Jew so much that he wanted him dead. He didn’t stop at him alone, his hatred was so strong that he wanted all the Jews murdered in one day, all because Mordecai, Esther’s uncle, would not bow down to greet him whenever he came to the king’s palace.
