1 Sam 23:1-15

we're putting up our christmas tree... so, i don't have as much time as i normally do.

SCRIPTURE: 1 Samuel 23:1-15
OBSERVATIONS:
-one of the big things here is that david has assembled a group of rebels. in many ways, this is where he learns how to lead.

-aren't the philistines supposed to be slaves at this point... they just won't die.

-notice at first that his guys didn't want to go, but he some how convinces them to go.

-from what i can remember saul never heard from god to go fight... now david is getting his direction from god and not a prophet.

-god gives david a direct answer... that's cool.

-ok, so david is hiding out in desert caves, a wanted man. sound like anyone in popular culture?

APPLICATION:
david was so in tune to god's voice that he knew exactly what do at exactly the right moment.

PRAYER:
god, help me to be able to tune into the sound of your voice so that i can react when needed.
