Saul’s jealousy grows

Even throwing a spear at David while he is playing for him

And sends assassins to his daughter & David’s home and he only escapes because his wife covers for him

David and Goliath

Rise & fall of Saul

Such good reminders of how easy it is to fall into temptation of self boasting.

And how easy it is to try lead by force & not compassion.

How easy is it to want to appear good among others even so much that we ask those who we know are doing right to support us.

Eli was a judge of the nation but yet he allowed his sons to corrupt the positions of priesthood.

They even try to manipulate the ark and win a battle by force when indeed it cost them their lives and even Eli became glutinous and fell when he heard the news of his son death and fell and broke his neck.

Our lack of integrity and dealing with our problems can have other people punished.

Just as a crime left unpunished and not quickly punished can lead to a multitude of people being punished for the sin.

Most likely we do will not have thousands among thousands murdered in a war on both sides, but we can cause people to have undue hardship by not owning our mistakes. For not being truthful.

Samson

Don’t abuse your gift, and take credit for a natural gift God gives you,
Don’t manipulate situations to use a blessing as a way to boast

Know who to trust and confide in, what is there motive?

Be slow on your promises so that you don’t make rash promises that are hard to keep.

You want to maintain integrity
