Are you wearing a temporary mask or a permanent one? Welcome to the Daily Devo. I am Vince Miller. This week, we are in Chapter 21 of 1 Samuel. I've titled this chapter "Man On The Run." Yesterday, David ran to Gath, the former home of Goliath, with Goliath's sword. The King of Gath realizes he is there, so let's see what David decides to do next. Let's read 1 Samuel 21:12-15: And David took these words to heart and was much afraid of Achish the king of Gath. So he changed his behavior before them and pretended to be insane in their hands and made marks on the doors of the gate and let his spittle run down his beard. Then Achish said to his servants, "Behold, you see the man is mad. Why then have you brought him to me? Do I lack madmen, that you have brought this fellow to behave as a madman in my presence? Shall this fellow come into my house?" — 1 Samuel 21:10-12 So we discover that David is not just a shepherd, poet, musician, lover, and warrior but also an actor. Is there anything this strapping young man cannot do? And it is believable! He drools on himself and writes a little graffiti on the city's walls, and the King falls for it. David is labeled a madman. I assume that since he had seen King Saul act like a madman and got away with it, maybe he assumed he could get away with it, too. I don't know for sure, but it worked! But what captured my attention today is the stark contrast between Saul's tactics in Gibeah and David's in Gath. Saul surrounds himself with sanity to hide his insanity. David uses insanity to hide his sanity. For some reason, Achish's pronouncement of his insanity provides him with temporary safety until he can escape to the coming location. Occasionally, wearing a temporary mask is necessary in life-threatening situations. Enemies surrounded David; therefore, temporary pretending was needed to preserve his life. The problem is that many use this tactic as a perpetual means to maintain a persona that is not remotely true. Therefore, their playacting becomes a perpetual lie they tell about themselves. But this is not true of David. David's act was only temporary. While publicly pretending, he privately anchored his mind and soul to the truth about God in God's Word (as revealed this week in Psalm 34 and Psalm 56). This was not a permanent act by David, only temporary until he found a means of escape. If you must wear a mask as a temporary shield against an enemy, do so sparingly. Don't fake it until you make it, and then continue with the act only to become a fake. And since this is usually not needed, stop pretending, be authentic, take off the mask, and trust in God. #DavidOnTheRun, #AuthenticityInFaith, #TrustingGod Ask This: In what areas of your life do you feel pressured to wear a mask or pretend to be someone you're not? How can you seek God's truth to find your authentic self? David used a temporary act to escape danger, but he anchored his heart to God's truth. How can you balance the need for self-protection in difficult situations with a commitment to living authentically in your faith? Do This: Stop pretending and take off the mask. Pray This: Father, help me discern when it's necessary to wear a temporary mask for my protection while staying rooted in Your truth. Grant me the courage to remove false facades and embrace my authentic self as I navigate life's challenges. Amen. Play This: Let My Life Be Worship.
Are you trying to outrun your fears? Welcome to the Daily Devo. I am Vince Miller. This week, we are in Chapter 21 of 1 Samuel. I've titled this chapter "Man On The Run." Yesterday, David ran to Nob to Ahimelech, the priest. Today, he is going to run somewhere new. Let's read 1 Samuel 21:10-12: And David rose and fled that day from Saul and went to Achish the king of Gath. And the servants of Achish said to him, "Is not this David the king of the land? Did they not sing to one another of him in dances, 'Saul has struck down his thousands, and David his ten thousands'?" And David took these words to heart and was much afraid of Achish the king of Gath. — 1 Samuel 21:10-12 If we go back to Chapter 5 in our study, we will remember that there were five main Philistine cities, and Gath was one of them. A Lord led each, and Achish led Gath. So David runs 23 miles southwest into Philistine territory, probably thinking that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend." But don't forget Gath was the hometown of a great Philistine warrior named Goliath, and David had just acquired his sword. Even worse, once he gets there, his folk hero status precedes him as some of the servants of Achish quickly notice him and reference the folk song the Israelites sang about him. But David is aware of what is going on. He knows that running to Achish might provide temporary cover from Saul, but it might also put him in harm's way with Achish and the Philistines. Still, he runs the risk, and now his fears only increase, and he learns that a man can never outrun his fears. There have been a few times in my life as a man of God where adverse events keep happening to me that lead to waves of fear. When it is just one or two events, I am usually okay. But after a few similar events, questions began stirring in my mind. Eventually, I will fixate on one of two theories: either I have done something unrighteous to provoke these events, or my righteousness has provoked injustice that is hunting me down. Either way, this is a very lonely feeling; suspicions and fears begin to take hold in my mind, which is a direct attack on my faith in God. To this point, David has fought many great battles with great enemy warriors, but I think the battles within his mind are the most intriguing. So, let's back up a few days to our devotional on Sunday (see post here). If you remember, we said a couple of journal entries were made during this time. Songs that David wrote during his time in Gath. Psalm 56 is one. Listen to the song he secretly wrote during this very lonely time that tells us how he was fighting this battle in his mind: Be gracious to me, O God, for man tramples on me; all day long an attacker oppresses me; my enemies trample on me all day long, for many attack me proudly. When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me? All day long they injure my cause; all their thoughts are against me for evil. They stir up strife, they lurk; they watch my steps, as they have waited for my life. For their crime will they escape? In wrath cast down the peoples, O God! You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your book? Then my enemies will turn back in the day when I call. This I know, that God is for me. In God, whose word I praise, in the Lord, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can man do to me? I must perform my vows to you, O God; I will render thank offerings to you. For you have delivered my soul from death, yes, my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of life. — Psalm 56:1-13 Hopefully, you see that David realizes he may outrun Saul but he will never outrun his fears. He must fight his waves of fears in faith with the truth of God. This is what you have to do as well. When surrounded by fear, you cannot outrun your fears. You also cannot let the waves of your fears beat you down. You need to fight them by finding shelter on the Rock. Let the waves of your fears beat against the Rock of Your Salvation. God and his truth are firm and unchanging. Look down upon your fears, and do not be afraid. There is nothing man can do to you when you trust in God. God. Given all the events surrounding me and the waves of fear that beat against me, I choose to put my faith in you, the Rock of my Salvation. Amen. #FaithOverFear, #TrustInGod, #BattlesWithin Ask This: When fear overwhelms you, what practical steps can you take to shift your focus back to trusting in God? How do you typically respond when facing repeated challenges? Do you tend to question your actions or see them as opportunities to strengthen your faith? Do This: Have faith in God, and don't try to outrun your fears. Pray This: God, when fear overwhelms me and doubt creeps in, help me to place my trust entirely in You. I know that I can stand firm in Your strength, no matter what comes my way. Amen. Play This: Rock Of Ages - What A Friend I've Found.
Do you need provisions today? Welcome to the Daily Devo. I am Vince Miller. This week, we are in Chapter 21 of 1 Samuel. I've titled this chapter "Man On The Run." Remember, David runs to Nob, where the Tabernacle is located, and speaks with Ahimelech, the priest. Today, he asks Ahimelech for something interesting. Listen to 1 Samuel 21:8-9: Then David said to Ahimelech, “Then have you not here a spear or a sword at hand? For I have brought neither my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business required haste.” And the priest said, “The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you struck down in the Valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you will take that, take it, for there is none but that here.” And David said, “There is none like that; give it to me.” — 1 Samuel 21:8-9 God's church is the place to find spiritual provision. David runs to the Tabernacle because he needs provisions. The Priest has no problem giving David this provision because he understands it was God's provision for David to begin with. God gave David the sword to slay Goliath, and Ahimelech understood this. This trophy was merely on loan, kept in the Lord's house for safekeeping. He understood that God was the owner and he was a mere steward of the things of God. The church should always be a place for us to find provision. Not just natural provisions (like bread and weapons) but a place for spiritual provisions. And why? Because they're God's provisions, to begin with. God is the provider of all provisions, both natural and spiritual. And we should freely give them because they were freely given to us. The church should be a place where humanity finds the spiritual provisions they need. The greatest of these needs is salvation. A provision you need that you cannot earn, for which God paid and freely gives to you. If you need his salvation, seek it; he provides it to all who call on his name and surrender to him. God, we surrender to you. We need your provision of your salvation. Amen. #GodsProvision, #SpiritualNeeds, #ChurchCommunity Ask This: Where in your life do you need to trust God more for His spiritual or physical provision, and how can the church support you in meeting that need? What provisions has God already given you that you might be holding onto too tightly rather than using them to serve others as a steward of His blessings? Do This: God provides salvation. Run to his house. Pray This: Lord, I acknowledge that all I have comes from You, and I trust You to meet my every need. Help me to rely on Your provision and use what You've given me to bless others in Your name. Amen. Play This: God Is Able.

Are your friends really foes and, therefore, hard to trust? Welcome to the Daily Devo. I am Vince Miller. This week, we are in Chapter 21 of 1 Samuel. I've titled this chapter "Man On The Run." Remember, David is at Nob, at the Tabernacle, talking with Ahimelech. There is someone present this day, a spy of sorts. Listen to 1 Samuel 21:7: Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the Lord. His name was Doeg the Edomite, the chief of Saul's herdsmen. — 1 Samuel 21:7 Doeg is a crucial figure in the next chapter, so note this occurrence and what we learn today. There are two details about Doeg worth noting. First, he is an Edomite, a people who have been enemies of God since the time of Moses. The big question is why King Saul allowed an Edomite a place of any authority in his kingdom. Second, we learn that he does not have a minor role. He is the "Chief Shepherd." If you recall, David was a shepherd, too, and we would assume he was one of the best. However, David can not be both a shepherd and a warrior, so Saul must choose someone else with this skill. But his choice is a captured opponent, illustrating again the deteriorating discernment of Saul, which will play into his evil hands in the next chapter because Doeg is not just a captured opponent and chief shepherd but a contracted spy. Sometimes, people who look like friends may actually be foes. This principle is so hard to teach young teens. During the impressionable teen years, when teens are desperate for acceptance, they sometimes surround themselves with compromising people, which leads to compromising decisions. This was a hard-learned lesson for each of my children. But adults fall for this, too. When building new relationships in new situations, we can assume that people have our best interests in mind, only to find out later that this is not entirely true. Thus, we learn time and time again that some people who look like friends might be foes. Once we get burned, we trust less, become less vulnerable, and become more suspicious of those who might be foes. Unfortunately, one application of this reality is within a church small group. Many men hesitate to join a small church group because they perceive members as foes rather than friends. This may seem like a copout, but in small to medium-sized churches, I think their concerns are legitimate. Opening up about our hurts and hangups is risky when we are concerned that someone might breach confidentiality and share that information with others. This was David's situation. All of David's present problems were within the church and his family. He did not know who he could trust or with whom he could be vulnerable. He was suspicious at every turn. He then turned to the men of God, Samuel and now Ahimelech, only to later discover that nearby Doeg was a spy who would sell them out. When we are in vulnerable situations, we need friends, not foes. But if we become vulnerable and get burned by a friend who was really a foe, it's hard to be vulnerable the next time. If this happens too often, we can become resistant to any form of vulnerability. But here is the rub: only by being vulnerable can we test a friendship and build lasting friends that stand the test of time. Vulnerability is difficult to learn, slowly gained, quickly lost, and risky to recover. This is why so many men have many issues with vulnerability. But you need to work through this. Past issues with foes are not present excuses for your lack of friends. You need at least one believing friend you can trust and be vulnerable with in this life. And it's not exclusively your spouse. It's someone of the same gender, with grounded biblical beliefs, who can speak the truth in love and give you the spiritual direction you need. So get a Jonathan, not a Doeg, and build a friendship that will last the test of time. #TrustWisely, #FriendshipMatters, #VulnerabilityInFaith Ask This: Who are the "Doegs" in your life—those you initially trusted but later realized may not have had your best interests at heart? How can you discern true friendship in the future? In what areas of your life do you struggle with vulnerability? What steps can you take to build authentic relationships that foster trust and support, similar to David and Jonathan? Do This: Be vulnerable and build a lasting friendship. Pray This: Father, help me to discern the true intentions of those around me, guiding me to build authentic friendships rooted in trust and faith. Grant me the courage to be vulnerable, knowing that in sharing my struggles, I can find the support and encouragement I need. Amen. Play This: I Surrender All.
Do you prefer rightness or righteousness? Welcome to the Daily Devo. I am Vince Miller. Yesterday, we released a new episode of The Vince Miller Show; check it out at the link or button below the video after you read the devotional. This week, we are in Chapter 21 of 1 Samuel. I've titled this chapter "Man On The Run." Remember, David came to Nob, the location of the Tabernacle, and talked with the priest, Ahimelech. Here is the interchange today in 1 Samuel 21:3-6: Now then, what do you have on hand? Give me five loaves of bread, or whatever is here.” And the priest answered David, “I have no common bread on hand, but there is holy bread—if the young men have kept themselves from women.” And David answered the priest, “Truly women have been kept from us as always when I go on an expedition. The vessels of the young men are holy even when it is an ordinary journey. How much more today will their vessels be holy?” So the priest gave him the holy bread, for there was no bread there but the bread of the Presence, which is removed from before the Lord, to be replaced by hot bread on the day it is taken away. — 1 Samuel 21:3-6 So, let's back up and notice a critical detail in David's story. We notice that the first men that David runs as a man on the run are two holy men: Samuel, the prophet, and Ahimelech, the high priest. This is a natural impulse for any righteous man of God on the run. If you are being stalked by unrighteousness, the right thing to do is run to godly men who can provide you shelter, security, safety, and sustenance. If that is how you feel today, you need to stop trying to solve your problems on your own and run to a trusted believer, get relief, get understanding, and get prayer from them. Next, it is essential to note that it was customary for countrymen to help each other while traveling. Traveling in their time was much more challenging, and carrying food and supplies was a burden if you were moving fast. Travelers relied on people's hospitality when they came to a new town for things like shelter and food. So, David's request was not unusual. The problem is that Ahimelech only had some "Holy Bread," also known as "Shewbread." Twelve unleavened loaves were freshly baked every Sabbath and placed on a table before the Lord at the west end of the Holy Place in the Tabernacle. They were arranged in two stacks of six, like pancakes, on the table, symbolizing that God was the source of nourishment for each of Israel's tribes. According to religious law, only a priest was allowed to consume this bread, but Ahimelech, after a short assessment of David's sexual cleanliness, decided to give him some. This was so unusual that it became a memorable moment, recounted even by Jesus in the New Testament. Today, I want to read the text in Matthew 12 so you can see the point Jesus is making and how he credits Ahimelech's decision. But keep in mind while I read this text that the religious lawyers (the Pharisees) are questioning the judgment of the Great High Priest, and Jesus offers an explanation using the example of Ahimelech. At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry, and they began to pluck heads of grain and to eat. But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to him, “Look, your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.” He said to them, “Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him: how he entered the house of God and ate the bread of the Presence, which it was not lawful for him to eat nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests? Or have you not read in the Law how on the Sabbath the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are guiltless? I tell you, something greater than the temple is here. And if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the guiltless. For the Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.” — Matthew 12:1-8 Jesus is making a valuable point: when believers value being right over being righteous or value being correct over being compassionate, we have missed the point because we want to make a point. In making our point, we prove we prefer the process of preserving our pride rather than pursuing goodness and mercy. Jesus is using our present story as a prime example of mercy for those who worship legalism and the letter of the law rather than worshipping the Leader who wrote, upheld, and accomplished the Law. However, we must be cautious when applying this principle to everyday life because rejection of legalism can lead to excessive liberty. Notice that Ahimelech is careful about extending his goodwill to David. He gives the bread and will replace it, but he wants to ensure it is being eaten in a way that will honor God. When you are being tested as a believer, you will encounter lonely moments when you feel like you are driving a winding road on a narrow cliff through a thick fog. During these moments, you will need spiritual discernment. Don't hit the accelerator and make fast legalistic decisions or libertarian choices. Use spiritual discernment, read God's Word, make decisions with another believer, and act in righteous faith. If you choose to act in faith, perhaps one day, Jesus will use your example as a model of what to do instead of what not to do. #RighteousnessOverRightness, #FaithAndDiscernment, #DavidAndAhimelech Ask This: In what areas of your life do you prioritize being "right" over showing compassion and mercy? How can you shift your focus towards righteousness in those situations? Who are the trusted believers in your life that you can turn to when you're feeling spiritually tested or need support? How can you build a stronger connection with them to foster mutual encouragement and accountability? Do This: Walk the line rightly. Pray This: Father, help me prioritize righteousness over being right and show compassion and mercy in all my interactions. Grant me the wisdom to seek guidance from trusted believers when I face challenges so I may navigate my journey with faith and discernment. Amen. Play This: This Is The Kingdom.
Do you feel you are being tested and find it hard to walk the razor's edge of righteousness? Welcome to the Daily Devo. I am Vince Miller. Today, we released a new episode of The Vince Miller Show, "Beliefs That Hold You Back." Check it out at the link or button below the video. This week, we are in Chapter 21 of the Daily Devo. I've titled this chapter "Man On The Run." Here is the text for today in 1 Samuel 21:1-2: Then David came to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest. And Ahimelech came to meet David, trembling, and said to him, "Why are you alone, and no one with you?" And David said to Ahimelech the priest, "The king has charged me with a matter and said to me, 'Let no one know anything of the matter about which I send you, and with which I have charged you.' I have made an appointment with the young men for such and such a place. — 1 Samuel 21:1-2 So, by nature, we should ask again, "What is with all the lying?" In the last chapter, David devises a plan to lie to Saul, and Jonathan tells the lie to test Saul. Here we have another instance. Before I answer your question, let me provide a little background for this moment. David runs to Nob (his next hideout from Saul) about two miles south of Ramah. Ramah is the home of Samuel, but Nob is the location of the Tabernacle, which was the Lord's temporary dwelling until Solomon built the Temple. Naioth, which is in Ramah, is an educational facility for training prophets and priests. Think of Naioth as a seminary where Samuel trained priests in his later years. One of the priests Samuel brought up and appointed was Ahimelech, who is just a mere 2 miles away in Nob. So David shows up in Nob, and Ahimelech is a little surprised. You will notice he is "trembling," probably because he has heard about the recent events with the mercenaries sent to kill David at Naioth, and the spirit of the Lord came upon them. True to form, Ahimelech is concerned and curious. And then David gives him an answer, which appears to be a lie. But I don't think David is lying. I think David means "The King" or "The Lord" when he uses the title "king" because he is standing before a priest who knows The King and King Saul's present issues. So, if you allow me a little latitude today (and this is pure speculation), if we insert this inference into the text, we might read the situation differently. So, let's reread David's statement, assuming he means "The King." "The king has charged me with a matter and said to me, 'Let no one know anything of the matter about which I send you, and with which I have charged you.' So, my guess, and it's only a guess, is that David is not lying. He stands alone before the priest, speaking of "The King," and I think Ahimelech is playing along. Based on the outcome of tomorrow's devotional and how Jesus refers to this instance in the New Testament, I think I am right. So, I think we encounter two men talking in code, trying to walk a careful socio-political and religious line while trying to keep themselves free from sin. But this is what it will be like for David for years. He is going to be challenged to walk on the razor's edge of so many matters, which we will see unfold in a variety of ways. This is one of many reasons why I think God chose David to be the second king of Israel. He was a man after God's heart, willing to be tested for years and walk the razor's edge between righteousness and unrighteousness every time. Are you being tested? Are you walking the razor's edge? If so, walk it carefully and cautiously because God might just be preparing you like he was preparing David. #TestedFaith, #WalkingInRighteousness, #FaithUnderFire Ask This: When have you felt like you were walking on the razor's edge in your faith, balancing between right and wrong? How did you navigate that moment? What steps can you take today to stay faithful to God when the pressure to compromise feels overwhelming? Do This: Submit to the test and let God prepare you. Pray This: Lord, when I feel tested and pressured to compromise, help me to walk faithfully in Your truth. Strengthen my heart to trust Your plan, even when the path feels difficult and unclear. Amen. Play This: Waiting.
Joel Wood | Sept 29 2024This sermon is meant to provide an introduction to the book of Jonah by helping us to understand who Jonah was and what was taking place in history at the time of Jonah's life. This sermon is also meant to show how Jonah's response to God's call exposes our own sinful hearts. We all hear God's call, whether it's to believe in Him or change how we're living for Him. However, left to ourselves we all disobey God's word, seek to escape his presence, and reject his authority over our lives. We are all JONAH and in desperate need of God's loving and relentless pursuit of us. And like JONAH, we have a message to take to an unbelieving world because God's heart is for all nations.
Are you lonely, like David, a "man on the run"? Welcome to the Daily Devo. I am Vince Miller. Remember, tomorrow, we will air a new episode of The Vince Miller Show entitled "Beliefs That Hold You Back." If you have Video Access on our website, this episode is already available; if not, wait until tomorrow. Be in prayer for this Show. We have invested a lot of time and money into this effort, and we hope this will reach out in a new way so others will be able to hear the Gospel. This week, here in the Daily Devo, we are in 1 Samuel 21. I've titled this chapter "Man On The Run." David will be on the run for a long time, approximately 12-15 years. In the last chapter, he ran to Naioth in Ramah to Samuel and then back to the rocks in Gibeah. In this chapter, he will run to Nob (the location of the Tabernacle) and then to Gath (the home of Goliath). There will be many more locations, 16 in all, that we will list in the coming chapters (i.e., the Cave of Adullam, the king of Moab at Mizpeh, "the stronghold" maybe Masada, the forest of Hereth, Keilah, the wilderness of Ziph, the wilderness of Maon, strongholds of Engedi, "the stronghold" maybe Masada again, the wilderness of Paran, and the finally back to Achish, the king of Gath.) So, I will not give you a key verse for this chapter this week. (If I did, I would pick 1 Samuel 21:4.) Instead, I will share a private excerpt from David's journal during this emotional time, which reveals a lot about what is going on in his mind. But first, I want you to imagine how lonely David felt in these moments. He has been separated from his family and will never speak to his biological father ever again. His father-in-law (King Saul) wants to kill him and has given a charge to the Israelite army to hunt him down. His wife (Michal) and best friend (Jonathan) cannot communicate with him. He cannot take refuge in Samuel in the Naioth at Ramah. David is a fugitive, a man on the run. At the end of this chapter, David hides in Gath, which is in Philistia, the enemy of Israel, and acts like a madman here to preserve his life from King Saul. There could be no more lonely moment for David. However, during this chapter, David made two journal entries, Psalms 34 and 56. And I want to read a portion of Psalm 34 for you today so you can see what David is thinking. The title of this Psalm in your Bible might say: "Of David, when he changed his behavior before Abimelech, so that he drove him out, and he went away." The name "Abimelech" is a title like "President" or "King," and the man this refers to is named Achish, or "Abimelech Achish" who is the focus of 1 Samuel 21:10-15. Here is what he writes. I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul makes its boast in the Lord; let the humble hear and be glad. Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together! — Psalm 34:1-3 The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous and his ears toward their cry. The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth. When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all. He keeps all his bones; not one of them is broken. Affliction will slay the wicked, and those who hate the righteous will be condemned. The Lord redeems the life of his servants; none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned. — Psalm 34:15-22 Even though David is alone and a man on the run, he knows he is never alone. And some of you need to hear this today. If God is with you, you are never alone. David preached, journaled, wrote, and sang this truth to his heart, mind, and soul. He put his hand to paper, his lip to song, his heart to prayer in those lonely moments in the enemy land, pretending to be a madman to stay alive as God's anointed, and God was with him. In lonely moments, never forget that with God, you are never alone. Preach this truth to your soul. Sing about it. Read about it. Write about it. Believe it. God is a deliverer. He is near, not far. And don't forget that during these years, God slowly built an army of hundreds of men around David who followed him from the Struggling Fugitive Years to the Soldiering Fighting Years. #NeverAlone, #FaithInTheWilderness, #GodWithUs Ask This: When have you felt most alone, and how did you remind yourself of God's presence during that time? Like David, how can you preach truth to your soul in moments of fear or loneliness? What practical steps can you take today? Do This: Preach to your soul, "I am not alone, God is with me." Pray This: Lord, in my moments of loneliness, help me to remember that You are always with me, even when I feel abandoned. Give me the strength to trust in Your presence and to find refuge in Your unfailing love. Amen. Play This: I Am Not Alone.

Netflix's new hot documentary MAN ON THE RUN exposes a shocking true story of corruption and betrayal that shook an entire nation's financial stability. It follows Jho Low, a mysterious businessman and playboy, as he masterminds a scheme to exploit a sovereign wealth fund in Malaysia, 1MDB. With the collaboration of Prime Minister Najib Razak, Low funnels billions into global bank accounts to fuel his extravagant lifestyle, including Hollywood parties and even financing the blockbuster film "The Wolf of Wall Street." Director Cassius Michael Kim's meticulous investigation unravels a web of greed and corruption, revealing the profound impact of this colossal financial scandal. He sat down with Rachel to discuss what went into making this doc, and their mutual 6 degrees of separation from the man on the run himself, Jho Low. --- --- --- VISIT OUR AMAZING SPONSOR! --- --- --- ONESKIN Get 15% off OneSkin with the code UNDERSTOOD at https://www.oneskin.co/ #oneskinpod --- --- --- Follow Rachel on Instagram! @RachelUchitelNYC Executive Producer: Alison Goodman Please like, share, subscribe, and give us a 5-star review!

Maybe you grew up in church and know the story of Jonah. Maybe you think it's just a fun story for kids about a big fish. Is it possible that there's more to the story, that maybe there's more truth in this story than we realize? In this message, we're reminded that we're more like Jonah than we may realize. There will always be a ship sailing in the wrong direction, and our running will always affect other people. But the good news is that God will always provide a way back. Check out this message of hope for your life.

This is the first episode of a 4-part series on Jonah. This series looks at the life and ministry of Jonah in regards to his reluctant obedience as a prophet of God. In this first episode (corresponding with Jonah Chapter 1), we see Jonah's flee from God's call. We see his disobedience causing consequences for Jonah and even the men on the ship (innocent bystanders to what Jonah has done). We also see God's care and compassion for the lost. This first episode is the springboard for where the rest of the book will take us. Encourage you to listen in and please share with someone who you think will be impacted by this message.

MAN ON THE RUN follows the enigmatic Low Taek Jho—known to most as Jho Low–a mysterious businessman and playboy. Working with former Prime Minister Najib Razak of Malaysia, Low orchestrated a scheme to exploit 1MDB, a sovereign wealth fund established in 2009 with the noble purpose of benefiting the people of Malaysia. In 2015, the intrepid journalist Clare Rewcastle-Brown receives leaked financial documents, setting off a global investigation that uncovers a staggering amount of money being funneled into international bank accounts to fuel Low's extravagant lifestyle. He now faces charges of money laundering and a slew of other offenses related to the multibillion-dollar scandal and is wanted by international authorities. Through director Cassius Michael Kim's unprecedented access to key individuals involved on both sides of the story, and gripping first-person accounts, Man On The Run exposes a complex web of greed, corruption and betrayal that shook an entire nation's financial stability. Currently jailed former Prime Minister Najib Razak, 1MDB whistleblower Xavier André Justo, and journalist Clare Rewcastle Brown who broke the story, are featured in the film. Kim's meticulous investigation lays bare the extensive repercussions of one of the most colossal financial scandals in history. Jho Low is currently on the run and believed to be hiding in China. Director Cassius Michael Kim (Stockton on My Mind) stops by to talk about the remarkable access he had in the making of this scathing expose on the way dirty money warps the world and how the world's banking system for adjudicating financial crimes is a broken fraud of an institution.

#456 A Man On The Run Who here has been in a position where your future was uncertain? Perhaps even more dramatic than that, you have had to move on and the door behind you has been shut? Today we meet a man, Jacob, in just that kind of a circumstance. He can't go back, he must go forward and what he is facing is the unknown. How will God meet Jacob in such a situation, what might the Lord do to comfort him, and to let him know, that He is with him, let's now take a walk with Jacob…. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dl-700/support
The saga of Jonah continues. He's a wee little man that discovered you can't run from God. How about this? Once there was a man named Jonah... you are wondering what rhymes with Jonah. On a beach without a Corona? From a small town near Pamona? Or something like that. In all seriousness, I do plan to share a clean limerick that I wrote about Jonah. It tells the story of his apprehension and God's pursuit. What we discover in chapter 2 is now tucked away in the bowls of a fish, he's alone, and has time to reconsider his ways. Tight spaces are conducive for smart conversations. Or, when stuck between a fish and a hard place, pray. It's your only way out. Why do we resort to so many other devices when God just wants our attention? And what do we learn? Three things about his prayer that reveal he's a changing man. Not perfect. Still angry. But changing. It's so much more than an evil nation turning to God. It's about Jonah, really all of Israel, and even us, diving deeper into our solidarity with Him. Maybe even a short skit to illustrate Jonah's frustration and process.
We sat down with the director of the new film, "Man on the Run," Cassius Michael Kim. Kim describes the fascinating story of Jho Low, the Malaysian fugitive who is accused of one of the biggest money laundering scandals in the world. Low managed to dupe people like Miranda Kerr, Leonardo DiCaprio and Paris Hilton..listen to this completely shocking bonus episode!EPISODE NOTES:Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OH9o51ZWyfQCassius Instagram: @CassiusMKhttps://fortune.com/2022/03/07/jho-low-fugitive-1mdb-financier-biography/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A 32-year-old man on the run from New York investigators was reportedly found by a federal official at Disney World in October. According to Walt Disney World News Today, USPS officer Jeff Andre discovered Quashon Burton's neck tattoo on Oct. 20. Andre reportedly told Disney World security, who phoned the OCSO. Burton was stopped by deputies outside Animal Kingdom. The deputy noted in the arrest report, "I told Quashon I needed to speak with him about possible suspicious conduct, and he asked why he needed to present his ID. Later, I told him he was the subject of a warrant, and when I tried to secure him, he tensed up and braced his arms."If you like TRUE CRIME TODAY - Be sure to search and subscribe wherever you download podcasts!
