Read 1 Samuel 24
Think About It:
Was this just chance or was it a divine test? David is hiding in a cave. His enemy needs this particular cave. Perfect time to put a stop to all the running and hiding. Do I, or don’t I? David’s words in verse 6 give us insight into his character. God had made the choice and David’s responsibility was to honor that choice and trust God to take care of the outcome.
- Are you willing to be obedient to what God desires of you and leave the consequences to Him?
Family Time:
- How did David show Saul he had the opportunity to kill him?
- What was Saul’s reaction when David didn’t kill him?
- Revenge is similar to the feeling you get when someone hurts you and you want to hurt them back. Give examples of when you have felt that way.
- Think about the story of David sparing Saul’s life. Do you think God wants us to take revenge? Why or why not?
