1 & 2 Samuel: Week 7

Saul’s Undoing, David’s Deliverance | Liz Stein

This week’s chapters, 1 Samuel 27- 2 Samuel 1, highlight Saul’s undoing and David’s deliverance. The narrator contrasts the character of David and Saul throughout these chapters as they face hardship. Where do they seek their help? How is God at work? Saul continues to pursue self-sufficiency. But, we see by God’s grace, “David strengthened himself in the Lord” (1 Sam 30:6b). In our distress we are to turn and be strengthened in the Lord. David was strengthened by remembering God’s promises, reminding himself of God’s unchanging character and seeking God’s presence.
