📖 God’s Providence in Suffering – 1 Samuel 16:14–23
In today’s episode of Reading the Bible Daily with Dave, titled “God’s Providence in Suffering”, we study 1 Samuel 16:14–23, a turning point in Israel’s history. As the Spirit of the Lord departs from Saul, David is quietly brought into the king’s court—not through power, but through service and God’s providence.
Through this passage, we see the contrast between worldly leadership and spiritual character, the role of the Holy Spirit, and how David’s humble obedience points forward to the Lord Jesus Christ.
