    It’s hard pressing forward in this Christian walk, to keep our eyes focused on the one who saved us.  To give our time, our love, our all to Christ there are points when we hit roadblocks, stumbling blocks, and walls.  Which are ways to get us either on our face, our back and yes even our knees.  There are even times when we need to go back to move forward.  There are times when our current paths may just end very suddenly and we have to turn around and go back.  In 1 Samuel 29:1-11, this happened to David because the Philistines did not trust him, obviously so, since he did take out Goliath.  Achish was faced with sending back his most faithful servant, David.  David did as Achish requested and went back, without grumbling, without complaining.

    We need to look at David and his life because he wasn’t perfect, but he did follow God.  David was a true leader and those qualities, those characteristics showed in how he handled himself through certain situations.  That is how Christians need to be in our churches today.  We all have a senior pastor, he is the leader, the one that God has placed in charge.  We do look to that person for direction and leadership.  Ultimately we seek God’s will for guidance and I believe to find our place within the body of Christ.  If we are one, if we are unified, revival will break out, there will be a down pour of the Holy Spirit.  There will be SALVATION!!  We need to remember that sometimes going backwards helps us get ahead.
