Saul's declined; David's rising

TODAY IN THE WORD - Tuesday, June 17, 2008

1 Samuel 18:1-30 (New International Version)

In today's passage, Saul is a stark reminder of some of the dreadful consequences of persisting in sin and disobedience: Saul consumed with the darkness of his own heart is filled with fear, anger, and hatred. Lord I pray for persistent shortcomings in my own life, please help me flourished in faith

With God's presence in his live (and our lives):

1) David repeatedly received “love” from others:

When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. Proverbs 16:7

2) David had great repeated success in battle
