David has Saul within his grasp in a cave and can kill him, but he doesn't take the opportunity because he will not not touch God's anointed. May we be like David in not seeking our own will and being sensitive toward the things of God.

David shows us how to gain victory. He is in tune with the heart of God and is constantly seeking direction from Him- our lives are to be no different.

Consumed by fear, jealousy, and hatred, Saul murders priests that helped David. We must be careful not to let our fears consume us, but keep our eyes on God and our feet firmly planted on the Rock which is Christ Jesus.

We learn many lessons as we see David and his men on the run and hungry so they are given the bread in the Tabernacle to eat. Jesus speaks of this passage and teaches that what matters most is a relationship with Him.

With Saul out to kill him, David flees, but Jonathan sticks by him. As amazing as Jonathan's human faithfulness is, the faithfulness God shows us, and His promises to us, is even stronger.

Saul has hardened his heart toward God and God's anointed, David, as jealousy burns within him. Is jealousy consuming and blinding you to the things of God and His voice? If so, let it go.

David goes against the best the enemy has, and wins; not by his power, but by God's power. When we are in God's will there is no enemy or battle that cannot be defeated.

David was inexperienced, a shepherd, and the youngest son- not who the world would choose as King. But He was the man God chose because God knows the heart.

Saul sins and directly disobeys God's order to kill all the Amalekites, so God rejects him as King. What area of your life are you only party obeying the commands of God?
