1 Samuelနမူနာ

David Spares Saul a Second Time

Questions to consider:

1. What does this passage teach you about God?
2. What does this teach you about humanity and the world?
3. David was presented the opportunity to take Saul’s life a second time. Rather than enacting his own will, David trusted God’s plans and purposes. Do you trust God to exact His justice, or do you try to force your own on people, problems, or situations? How could you take steps to trust God as David does?
4. When David calls Saul after leaving, he could have gloated, but instead, he seeks reconciliation from the man that has hunted him for years. When somebody wrongs you, how do you respond? What would it take for you to respond like David?

Let’s Pray:

Father God, I confess sometimes I harbor anger and jealousy towards others that have wronged me. Help me to have a heart postured towards reconciliation and forgiveness instead.
