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.
