A Tale of Two Kings

Developing a Life of Deep-Seated Conviction

1 Samuel 26

3 Convictions worth developing.

Conviction #1: I’ll do what’s right in always

So David and Abishai went to the army by night, and there was Saul, lying asleep inside the camp with his spear stuck in the ground near his head. Abner and the soldiers were lying around him. Vs. 7

Doing what’s because I’m being is never

Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. 1 Peter 3:9

Doing what’s to accomplish what’s is still not

Allowing someone else to what’s for me is not

Abishai said to David, “Today God has delivered your enemy into your hands. Now let me pin him to the ground with one thrust of the spear; I won’t strike him twice.” But David said to Abishai, “Don’t destroy him! Who can lay a hand on the Lord’s anointed and be guiltless? Vs. 8

Is there an area I am compromising in my life today?

Conviction #2: I’ll on God’s

As surely as the Lord lives,” he said, “the Lord himself will strike him, or his time will come and he will die, or he will go into battle and perish.  But the Lord forbid that I should lay a hand on the Lord’s anointed. Vs. 9

Is there an area in my life God isn’t working fast enough?

Conviction #3: I’ll God’s

The Lord rewards everyone for their righteousness and faithfulness. The Lord delivered 

you into my hands today, but I would not lay a hand on the Lord’s anointed.  As surely as I valued your life today, so may the Lord value my life and deliver me from all trouble.”

Vs. 23-24

Is there an area I am trying to control?

God those who Him

But now the LORD declares: Those who honor me I will honor, but those who despise me will be disdained. 1 Samuel 2:30
