Excerpt:
The young man's problem (1 Samuel 30)
"Come on... keep up with the crowd!"
Maybe you have felt that you have the same problem too. Is somebody always saying, "Faster, faster!" or "Hurry up!" if you lag behind a little?
That's how this young man of Egypt felt that day. He was a servant to an Amalekite, and it had been an exciting day for the Amalekites. They had robbed David's city of Ziklag while he and his men were gone. They took the families as prisoners and finished up by burning the whole place down. Maybe the young man enjoyed the adventure, but they all knew that they had no right to do what they had done and that David and his men would be angry when they found out. They also knew that they must get away fast! This was no time for stragglers!
But the young Egyptian did not like the running away part, because he felt sick. And finally he was just too sick to keep up with the Amalekites any longer, so they left him behind.
At the same time, David had some men who couldn't travel any longer as they chased after the Amalekites who had taken their families as prisoners. David left those men beside the brook Besor where they could safely rest until he could return for them again. But not so with the Amalekites. they said, Just leave that Egyptian in the field. Who cares about him?
Maybe you know that feeling, when you've been left out because you couldn't keep up with the gang. So who cares?
God cares. He sent this problem into your life so that you could learn about His loving heart. He understands the heartache, and He knows the cause.....
