It will be worth it, 1 Samuel 26

November 9, 2014 Leave a Comment

Motivation to endure, 1 Samuel 26

Introduction

Text: 1 Samuel 26 – Saul again pursues David, and David again refrains from killing Saul, despite being given another opportunity.

Déjà vu

  • David initiates this incident.
  • David faces a more insidious temptation.
  • David’s faith seems stronger in that he has additional context to understand the sovereignty of God.
  • David seems to focus on Abner as much as Saul.
  • David establishes some distance between he and the army before he reveals himself.

The motivation to endure

  1. What is God offering? A reward, not wages for our effort. Romans 6:23, James 1:17, Hebrews 6:10
  2. Who is God offering it to?
  3. On what basis is it being offered?
    1. Righteousness
    2. Faithfulness
