David sparing Saul’s life was not just an act of mercy and forgiveness, but
it was an act of great faith. When faced with the opportunity to take his
destiny into his own hands, David chose to trust in the Lord to do what He
said that He would do. This simple moment of trusting God gives us an
insight into why he is one of the great heroes of the Christian faith, and
encourages us put our hope in God for our own lives.
