DAVID AND SAUL

1 Samuel 23:7—24:22

Kevin's Commentary 

You are encouraged to go through steps or process scripture in these steps:

• Pray = in anticipation of what God wants you to discover. Ask God to help you maintain a healthy relationship with anyone in authority over you.
• Read = with purpose look for what God is trying to communicate. You may want to read out of several translations and highlight key words.
• Reflect = on the context and put yourself in the shoes of people at that time. Is there a coworker, supervisor or other that you find it difficult to get along with? Why do you think that is so? What can you do to help make the relationship better?
• God is ... What do we learn about God?
• We are ... What do we learn about people?
• What underlying issues do you think affected Saul’s attitude toward David?
• Is there anyone who has an irrationally negative attitude toward you? How should you respond?
• Apply = information without application is fruitless. Decide on some practical steps you can take for fulfill what God wants you to do. As you go through your day relating to “difficult” people, identify any negative attitudes and actions you can and try to react with a positive, disarming attitude or action.
• Pray = yielding to God to empower you to do what the word convicted you to do. Lord, please give me the patience and insight I need in order to bring peace to my difficult relationships.
