OYESS PENSA

We all have a moral sense given to us by God to guide us – our conscience. Often, we feel guilty because we have done something that we know is wrong. However, our consciences, as fallen human beings, are not perfect. We sometimes don’t feel guilty about things we should feel guilty about – in which case we need our conscience to be awakened by the Spirit of God. David had a sensitive conscience in dealing with Saul, although Saul wanted to kill him. We should never feel okay when we hurt others, even if it is in self-defence. It is a sign of a dying conscience. *Shalom!!!*
*Bible Reading: 1 Samuel 24:4-7*

Two people who are great friends can at the same time end up competing for the same job or opportunity. This should however not bring tension between their ambitions and their friendships. The friendship between David and Jonathan was remarkable. They were rivals for the throne. They had every reason to be envious of each other and to hate each other. Yet Jonathan loved David as he loved himself. This type of love, which Jesus commanded, is the highest love one person can have for another. *Shalom!!!*
