Do you ever feel like life’s throwing everything it has at you, or people are coming against you?

David’s story in 1 Samuel 16-24 is a powerful example of faith under pressure. God rejects Saul as king and anoints David, who quickly gains favor as a warrior and leader. But Saul, consumed by jealousy, makes it his mission to kill David.

Despite the danger, David never takes revenge. Instead, he shows mercy, even sparing Saul’s life twice. Why? Because David trusted God’s timing and sovereignty over his life.

He knew his future was in God’s hands, not man’s. So, the next time you face opposition, remember: like David, you can choose mercy, trust God, and let Him fight your battles.
