David recognized that Israel's battel with Goliath and the Philistines was not about them and the Philistines. Rather, it is about God and the Philistines. He knew he was fighting for the Lord. Too bad the Israelites didn't realize that too.

David has an encourther with Goliath as he brings provisions to his brothers from their father. He hears Goliath's daily speech. What will the young shepherd boy do?

Goliath challenged the army of Saul. He was an insurmountable warrior who represented Philistia on the battlefield. He all bu guaranteed victory for them. God's people, however, were delivered by a shepherd boy. There's a lesson in that for us.

The Spirit of the Lord rests on David after He departed from Saul. Saul's spirit was harmful and broken because he rejected the Lord. God worked all things for His glory in then and still does today.

David was God's choice to be Saul's successor on the throne of Israel. He was the complete opposite of Saul. And, that's the kind of man God wants. Humble. Trustworthy. Devoted.

The Lord tore the kingdom of Israel from Saul becasue Saul had been disobedient and was unrepentant. We must learn that the Lord desires our hearts and devotion and he deserves it because He is the Lord.

The Lord rejects Saul as king over Israel becaues Saul refused to fulfill His commands. However, the Lord's rejection of Saul follows Saul's rejection of Him. Saul's heart is not devoted to the Lord nor submitted to His will.

Saul disobeyed the commands of God when he led the Israelites into battle against the Amalekites. God rejected him because it.

Saul made a rash vow that could have had disasterous consequences for his family and Israel. Thankfully, God prevented him from taking Jonathan's life as the peole refused to allow him to kill his son. The Lord's work is seen in action rather than silly, ill-advised vows.

Jonathan was a man of faith and action. He trusted the Lord and took action against the Philistines. The Lord moved and brought victory to Israel. We must trust the Lord to fight our battles and take action in faith.
