1 Samuel 25-26 Acts 8

Ok so David is married (to Saul’s daughter!) and then meets Abigail who’s also married. Vs3 His name was Nabal and his wife's name was Abigail. She was an intelligent and beautiful woman, but her husband, a Calebite, was surly and mean in his dealings.
Ya don’t find many beautiful AND intelligent women ;) Her husband was a mean man, hurling insults at David’s men and he wasn’t generous either. Vs 17 calls him a wicked man! Abigail’s servant said to think over what could be done to right the wrongs her husband had done to David and wasting no time she sprung into action. Abigail saved the life of her “foolish” husband by being humble and bowing down before David with gifts for his men. When Abigail told her husband what she’d done for David, God ended up taking his life 10 days later! Since Abigail’s husband died, David asked her to be his wife and married another woman named Ahinoam. Saul gave David’s wife 44 But Saul had given his daughter Michal, David's wife, to Paltiel son of Laish, who was from Gallim. I totally don’t get the whole multiple wives thing of the Old Testament! I understand the great commission but when did that all change to one wife, one husband!?
I thought in the last two chapters we read that Saul decided not to pursue David anymore! Here in this chapter, he’s still following David and again at the end of the chapter he says “I will try not to harm you again.”
Acts-
3But Saul began to destroy the church. Going from house to house, he dragged off men and women and put them in prison.
God, so often to I think of this sort of thing happening someday in the United States! People going house to house, dragging the Christians into prison. I thank you God that for now, we live in a free Country where we can worship you and read your Word!
What a powerful work you performed in Saul, transforming his life God!
People were baptized, then they came to the apostles and they laid their hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit.
15When they arrived, they prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit, 16because the Holy Spirit had not yet come upon any of them; they had simply been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. 17Then Peter and John placed their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
We’re also unable to “buy” God. Simon offered to pay to receive the gift of giving the Holy Spirit to others. We need to be aware of our motives and be sure to
“ your heart is not right before God. 22Repent of this wickedness and pray to the Perhaps he will forgive you for having such a thought in your heart. 23For I see that you are full of bitterness and captive to sin."
(vs 26-29) Here we see Philip obeying the Spirit of the Lord and the Eunuch was saved because Philip did what the Spirit said! When the Holy Spirit prompts us, we need to be prepared and obedient to do what it says!
