Intro
I know it has been a little while since we have been in 1 Samuel so… just a few things to remember...
Ch 17 - Goliath
Ch 18.1 =
David writes because of his experience in todays text…
Prayer
God
Message
See Jonathan the mediator who seeks reconciliation
How many of us are really seeking to be classified as such… are you a peacemaker?
1 Sam 19.1-8
See Jonathans Reason
king / “good” servant - evil for good - not sinned against you!
take pleasure in him
SIN - shedding innocent blood
See Saul who listens to reason = v6
How many of us struggle to do this ourselves… listen to reason?
Give you all the reason in the world and yet we think we know better… PRIDE
See Davids willingness
can you picture the scene…?
... “oh so we’re cool then!?”
Are we like David?
Are we available for reconciliation?
some time passes…
See David’s success
What was the secret to David’s success…?
1 Sam 19.8-
Notice the scene, and place yourself in it...
Saul = no rest with God and therefore no rest even in his own home
How many of us have experienced this…!?
David = peace with God and therefore peace in the presence of his enemies
Saul = holding a spear
David = holding a harp
one seeking to serve
one seeking to slay
one seeking to serve
David = no dummy = been here before
Wait a minute… V6
When you were baptised you said… As the LORD lives… But are you??
1 Chron
David fled but did not escape until later that night…
Notice Saul’s Methods
messenger = angle - of death
watch all night!
= kill in the morning
Notice David’s Wife
Remember - OT - Joshua - Rahab - David’s - great great grandma
Remember Saul’s plan...
Matthew Henry = Often the devil is shot with his own bow
1 Sam
Psalms / Proverbs = Enemy is caught in his own nets
When we walk out of step with God we destine ourselves for folly and failure!
Notice Also Her Faults
household Idol = Rachel & Jacob
lies = Rebekah / Jacob & Esau / Isaac
David’s Character… her character… ?
What do you do when you feel like your back is against a wall?
Where do you turn?
Notice David
could have faught
stand his ground… He is the anointed after all…
Never Again! - would David be a part of Saul’s home
Saul will pursue David until the end of his life
1 Sam 19.11-
What do you do when you feel like your back is against a wall?
Where do you turn?
Where is David to go…?
What is he to do…?
1 Sam 19.18-
