1 Samuel 26-27

In today's text David is discouraged. He is tiring of this renegade in the wilderness routine...tired of being the pea in God's Shell Game with Saul. He is weary of fixing the same old problems, resisting the same old temptations, and constantly having the same old needs. How does he become discouraged? By thinking to himself David takes his focus off the Lord and onto himself. Soon his doubt creates problems his fears attempt to fix.
