Series: Reading the Bible Daily with Dave
By: Dave Jenkins


In this episode of Reading the Bible Daily with Dave, we look at one of the most powerful moments in the life of David—when he chose mercy over vengeance.
Though Saul was hunting David, and the opportunity for retaliation came, David trusted God’s timing instead of taking justice into his own hands.

This passage invites us to consider how we respond when we’re wronged. Do we trust in God’s justice, or do we grasp at control? Let David’s example challenge and encourage you to wait on the Lord.
