After the death of Saul, David now has a clearer path to the throne. However, instead of securing the throne for himself by any means necessary, David seeks to pursue God's call on his life in a way that honors the Lord. And through David, we see that God
David receives news of Saul's death, but instead of rejoicing, as many might expect, David laments. And through his lament, we see what godly grief looks like. In the face of tragic events, God’s people should respond in godly grief, which stems from go
