The story of David foreshadows Jesus in several ways. We need to keep our eyes on God and follow His will, also in the hard times.

God does forgive our sins, but that does not mean we can escape consequences. When we are tempted by sin, we should master it before it masters us.

David was a man after God's heart despite being sinful. He responded to God by humbly confessing his sin, repenting, asking for forgiveness, and seeking spiritual renewal.

God promised that a descendant of David would come to save humanity.

Living With The Lion: It is by God's Grace that we are saved through faith. We need to humble ourselves before Him and repent so that we can live in His joy.

God's plan is that of redemption and restoration, as is seen over and over in the Old Testament, until it comes to completion in Jesus. By His wounds, we are healed.

David developed a deep trust in God, in spite of difficult circumstances. His faith allowed him to see the bigger picture. We need to develop that resilient faith and trust that God is preparing us for what is to come.

If we wait on the Lord, we can go through the fire without coming out smelling like smoke.

What drives you? Are you driven by a desire for success or are you driven by your relationship with God? [Apologies, this recording has some issues with the sound - it started off very quiet.]

We often trust our own perceptions instead of God's. The way we see our lives, ourselves, and others are influenced by our own thoughts and those of other people. We need to turn our eyes to God and trust that He knows better, and we can ask Him to show us things the way they really are.

Saul feared men more than God and that led him to disobedience. We need to trust God and follow His commands.

Who is your leader? The Israelites wanted to follow a human leader instead of God, and then later on King Saul put the opinions of the people over God's instruction. God needs to remain above us.

What happened when the Israelites trusted their own fortunes instead of trusting God? We need to remember our dependence on our Holy God.

Philippians 1:1-2:18 Christ will be magnified. God the Finisher will bring His plans together. Our goal, in unity with other believers, should be to look to Him.
