1 Samuel 23-24Both David and Saul see narrow escapes in these chapters. David escaped because he learned of Saul’s pursuit in time for he and his men to get out of his way. Saul escaped because David chose not to kill him, but to merely cut off a corner of his robe, to show him that he could have, but did not. Saul appears to have learned his lesson, but we have heard him repent before. What shines through most vividly in this story is the difference in character in these two men.
LORD, you have helped us escape many times from harm that was coming to us. May we learn the lessons meant for us.
