William Shakespeare said, “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.”
Come on now, there was an act at school, at home and a totally different act with your friends. We won’t mention the act when you were pulled over for speeding. Sometimes we played so many different roles, it became confusing as to exactly who we were.
David had to play a major role as he stood before Achish king of Gath.
So he changed his behavior before them, pretended madness in their hands, scratched on the doors of the gate, and let his saliva fall down on his beard.
Don’t judge because, if you were placed in a similar position, there is a really good chance it would have been a similar act.
God doesn’t comment on David’s actions.
Knowing, maybe, we are but dust, sometimes He just gives us a pass and overlooks our act.
Give it some thought.
