1 Samuelనమూనా

David Runs from Saul

Questions to consider:

1. What does this passage teach you about God?
2. What does this teach you about humanity and the world?
3. In David’s time of need, as Saul is chasing him, David runs to the temple and interacts with Ahimelech. While there, he makes up a story about being on official business from the king. When you are in need and run to the Lord, can you be honest about where you are hurting and what you are running from? What makes it difficult, to be honest before the Lord?
4. Ahimelech provides David with the sword of Goliath, whom David defeated earlier in 1 Samuel. He defeated Goliath by trusting in the Lord and his faithfulness. What are some memories or physical things that you have that remind you of God’s faithfulness in a time of need?

Let’s Pray:

Father, I pray that when we are in need, we will run to you for comfort, provision, and protection. Help us to remember the ways you have been faithful in our lives.
