In our last story, we learned how David became best friends with Jonathan and Saul’s continued jealousy. In this story we will learn how Saul keeps trying to kill David and how David is able to escape, inspired by the book of 1 Samuel.
Whew! David's still in the clear, evading Saul's murderous plans. As we learned last time, Saul's envy spiked when David's victories made him a beloved figure among the people. Michal, David's wife, pulled a clever trick to help him escape Saul's wrath. David sought refuge with Samuel, a trusted and wise mentor who'd been with him from the start. Ever had a 'Samuel' in your life? Someone you can trust and confide in? Remember, sharing your worries with a trusted adult can be a huge relief. God's always watching over you, ready to protect you when needed. Proverbs 3:25-26 offers a reassuring promise: ""Don’t be afraid of sudden fear... for the Lord will be your confidence, and will keep your foot from being taken."" Take a moment to appreciate the people God has placed in your life to guide and protect you.
