”And Saul’s servants said to him, “Surely, a distressing spirit from God is troubling you. Let our master now command your servants, who are before you, to seek out a man who is a skillful player on the harp. And it shall be that he will play it with his hand when the distressing spirit from God is upon you, and you shall be well.” So Saul said to his servants, “Provide me now a man who can play well, and bring him to me.”“ I Samuel 16:15-17 NKJV
a. Saul’s servants said to him, “Surely a distressing spirit from God is troubling you”: This was obvious to Saul’s servants, but it does not seem to be obvious to Saul. Often our spiritual condition is far more apparent to others than it is to ourselves.
b. Seek out a man who is a skillful player: Essentially, Saul’s servants advise him to find what we would call a “worship leader.” They will seek out a man who can, using music, bring the love, peace, and power of God to Saul. King Saul needed to be led into worship, so it was important to seek out a man to do the job.
i. God created music and gave it the capability to touch people with great power. Music can be used for great good or for great evil, because it so powerfully communicates to our inner being.
c. You shall be well: In the past, Saul received the Spirit of the LORD in the presence of music (1 Samuel 10:10). Perhaps this is an effort to create that experience again. (Guzik)
Worship
Praise is the Rehearsal of Our eternal Song By Grace We learn to Sing, and in Glory We Continue to Sing. (Charles Spurgeon)
Let’s face it, I cannot sing but when I’m truly worshipping the Lord I sing and it’s with all my heart! ❤️
David played the harp and later as king David he wrote worship songs as recorded in the book of Psalms.
Our worship leader Sunday sang this song and informed the congregation it was based on Revelation 4:
“Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!”“
Revelation 4:8 NKJV
Enjoy & Blessings!
