The Life of David
Saul Pursued by David
I Samuel 23:15-29
Life is not a straight line leading from one blessing to the next and then finally to heaven.
I. God Provides Encouragement When Needed (I Samuel 23:15-18)
A. The Threat (I Samuel 23:15)
It is likely that David was discouraged because Saul had come out to seek his life.
B. The Friendship (I Samuel 23:16-18)
But Jonathan came to David and strengthened his hand in God.
II. God Provides Protection When Needed (I Samuel 23:19-29)
A. The Threat (I Samuel 23:19-24)
Undoubtedly, word of Saul’s slaughter of the entire town of Nob prompted the Ziphites to take preventive action.
B. The Escape (I Samuel 23:24-29)
If we were watching a movie of this scene, the music would be at a crescendo and we would be on the edge of our seats waiting for Saul and his men to capture David and his men.
God provides protection to you and me when we need it too.
God is exceedingly capable of protecting his people in a myriad of ways.
