2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV)
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray,
and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways;
then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin,
and will heal their land.
Pray for America!

Saul hunted David as if he were an animal. He knew that David was hiding in a place where there were many caves. Saul and his soldiers started searching these hillsides. At some point, when Saul was alone, he looked around for a place where he could relieve himself. He saw a nearby cave and went inside. There was no way he could have known, but David was hiding inside that same cave!
“Look David,” his men whispered to him. “God has blessed you again. Now is your chance to kill Saul! D avid shook his head. He told them, “No one kills God’s choice of king!”
Then he crawled down the cave, toward Saul. Very quietly, he cut a corner off Saul’s robe. Then he crept back to his hiding place. The moment he was back with his men, David felt very sorry for what he had done. He had not wanted to harm Saul. “I should never even have cut off this corner of his robe.”
So Saul got up and left the cave. Once he was outside, though, David came running after him. He fell on the ground. “My lord the king!” he called out. Saul swirled around in surprise. David held up the cloth. “Look, I cut off this corner of your robe. God gave you into my hands while you were in the cave. But I didn’t hurt you! I even kept my own men from hurting you. Now will you believe I’m not your enemy? Why do you chase me like this? I’ve done nothing wrong! “Saul saw that David could have killed him if he had wanted to. “A man does not let his enemy escape as easily as you have. I believe you, David.”
Long after the battle of Jericho, the Israelites forgot to obey God again. They hid out in the hills, fearing a people called. Midianites. One day, a man named Gideon heard an angel say, "God is with you, mighty warrior!"
"God is with me?" asked Gideon in surprise. "Then why are we having such troubles?"
"You shall save Israel," said the angel. "For God has chosen you to lead your people." "Me?" cried Gideon. "But who will listen to me? I am no one! I am the least of the least."
"God will go with you," said the angel.
Thousands of men came to help Gideon. But God said, "That's too many. Send hack any who are afraid." So Gideon let 22,000 men leave. Now 10,000 remained.
"You still have too many," said God, and He showed Gideon whom to send home. Now only 300 men remained! God told Gideon's army to surround the Midianite camp. When Gideon gave the signal, they smashed jars, waved torches, yelled loudly, and blew their trumpets. The startled Midianites grabbed their swords and fought against themselves. Then they ran! God used Gideon's tiny army to win the battle!
