I Samuel 25; Psalm 63

Again we observe the actions of two people who are living very differently. Saul has not sought the LORD – he is continually following his own will. He is prideful and doing things out of fear of losing his power and popularity.

David, however, has continually asked God for direction and guidance. He has humbled himself before God and has waited on Him. David has shown us a great example of James 4:8 “Come near to God, and He will come near to you.”

Proverbs 1:7 “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.”

Proverbs 3:34-35 “He mocks proud mockers, but gives grace to the humble. The wise inherit honor, but fools he holds up to shame.”

Where do you go first when you need guidance and direction? (friends, parents, teachers, God, Bible, horoscope,)

In God’s eyes, would you consider yourself prideful or humble? Wise or foolish?

Psalm 63 expresses what it looks like to earnestly seek God. Look to see if you can find things that you are doing to seek God … and things that you need to begin doing to seek God.
