Devotion in a divided world A series in 1 Samuel 1 Samuel is Biblical history in story-form. As you read the story, you begin to see that the key to flourishing in this world is learning how to be devoted to God in a divided world. David is devoted (1 Samuel 26:1-25) Slavery to sin Growing in faith The kindness of confrontation Wisdom and trust Questions: Saul was sorry for his sin after David spared his life the first time. But now Saul is once again seeking to murder David. Why is Saul not changing? (Reference Romans 6:16-23) Compare David's response to Abishai in this chapter and his response to his men in chapter 24. How has David grown in faith? What is the difference between walking by faith and walking by sight? If David is trusting God to deal with Saul, then why does he confront Saul? What was David's reason for confronting Saul? How do we know if we are confronting someone in a godly way?
