David Spares Saul

I misspoke in class today, thinking that we would be reading II Samuel. We're actually spending quite a bit of time in the Psalms this week.  These Psalms give us a unique look into the mind of David in that they allow us to see the intimate nature of the relationship between David and God.  Try to reconstruct David's mindset as you are reading these.  Does loving and depending on God mean that he never gets scared or distressed? Does loving God mean that David never wonders why certain things are happening to him?

   Samuel anoints Saul


As we have seen in this week's readings, Saul and David both had their flaws.  However, David tended to please God while Saul displeased Him.  What differences between these two men led to God's preference for David over Saul? Were they actions, attitudes, or both?
