1 Samuel Twenty-Six

Timing is everything. More accurately, God's timing is everything. The scope we view life through is incredibly limited. David seemed to have an understanding of this concept. This is the second time that David has the opportunity to remove Saul from his leadership. In fact, the men that are with David think they are about to witness a murder. From their perspective, this is a long time coming.

David however, realizes that murdering Saul only hurts his ability to follow God and lead men. We get the sense that he is aware of the danger and wants to do everything within his power to convince Saul to change his mind. But murder is not the option. David seems confident in God's ability to bless and curse. His choice is to wait on God's timing.

"Father, help me be patient and follow Your steps."
