DAY TWENTY-ONE (1 Samuel 16 – 1 Samuel 28:19)

The common denominator in all of David’s battles?  The Lord and David’s trust in Him. (1 Samuel 17:37)

Jealousy is a very bad thing. (1 Samuel 18:8-9)

I always chuckle when I read 1 Samuel 20:33.  Saul tries to kill his own son with a spear and then Jonathan knew that his father really did want to kill David.  You think?

I love the fact that David and his men were committed to daily, ordinary holiness. (1 Samuel 21:5)

When jealousy turns to paranoia, trouble is ahead.  That’s the main theme of 1 Samuel 22.

I want to spend my life fighting God’s battles, not mine.  I want to know what He considers worth fighting for, and then give my life away in the fight for those things. (1 Samuel 25:28)
