Stay with me. Do not be
afraid; whoever seeks your life must seek my life also. You are under my
protection.”
David said this to Abiathar: the sole survivor of Eli’s household which Saul killed
for giving aid to David. David now has in his service the only priest of the
Lord left in the land and exclusive access to the ephod for consulting the Lord.
David later appoints Abiathar co-high priest with Zadok in Jerusalem.
Yet, when I read this
verse I hear the Lord saying this to us all-Stay with me-do not be afraid. Today
go to the Blessed Sacrament and spend some time with the Lord. There our Lord will
pull us to Himself and transform us into warriors and conquerors. Draw near to
Him and He will transform your disenchantment with the world and help you along
the road to holiness and sainthood.
Our lives are songs; God writes the
words and we set them to music at pleasure; and the song grows glad, or sweet
or sad, as we choose to fashion the measure.
Ella
Wheeler Wilcox.
