“Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.” When Saul heard this saying, we’re told it, “displeased him.” He was willing for David to have come close, possibly even to equal him, but never to excel him. This is what I like to call the “Saul Syndrome.” This cancerous trait is still among us.
The test of true spiritual humility is seen in one’s attitude when another is of greater blessing than they themselves. I have noticed the “lesser- blessers” try to hold the greater back. I guess they are fearful that the people will say that they have been a blessing, but the latter has been ten times that.
Though the front door be closed to them, back door blessers are just as effective.
