1 Samuel 29-31

We don't know very much about the Egyptian who had been captured as a slave by the Amalekites. Surely he must have wondered why such an evil befell him that he should spend his life enslaved. Then on a raiding mission with his master he fell deathly ill. Unable to keep up with the raiding party he was left behind to die. Surely it was God who allowed him to be enslaved, and it was God who permitted the overwhelming sickness. But it was also God who sustained him in his weakness and sorrow for those three dreadful days. It was God who led David's path across his. Thus through all of these terrible events did God introduce this Egyptian to a man in pursduit of the LORD of Israel. That is why we should always look for God; even in times of pain and loss.
