‏ 1 Samuel 26:3

Introduction

In this chapter we see David again at a spiritual high point, while in the next chapter he fails again. We also saw this in 1 Samuel 24-25. It teaches us that we are constantly dependent on grace in all things.

Saul Pursues David

We have also seen the Ziphites before as traitors of David (1Sam 23:19). Now they betray again to Saul where David is. Their communication is reason for Saul to continue his pursuit of David. Although Saul knows that the LORD is with David, he is tireless in his attempts to eliminate David. Saul does not want to hand over the kingdom to the hand of the man God has chosen in his place.

It is the attitude of every human who does not bow to the authority of Christ, Who is still rejected today, while God has already “made Him both Lord and Christ” (Acts 2:36). Christ means ‘Anointed’. He is the anointed King of God. In Saul’s attitude we see how the flesh is. It never gives in; it never bends before God. We will always have to be careful that it does not assert itself in our lives.
