David Models Three Marks of Spiritual Maturity

Episode Summary: Since it is the nature of men to want to win in everything they do, Christian Christ-followers want to win as disciples. Paul defines this success as reaching spiritual maturity, but such a target on the wall can be nebulous. In I Samuel 24, however, David displays three striking marks of spiritual maturity that give us a clear example to emulate. This episode explains these three marks of spiritual maturity.

For Further Prayerful Thought:

1. How can you better follow David’s example of listening to a biblically trained conscience even in the face of overpowering circumstances and peer pressure?
2. If you think about it, Satan’s revolt and Adam and Eve’s sin were a defiance of God’s authority. How can Christians oppose injustice by those in authority but guard against movements that play upon sinful envy or rebellion against authority?
3. What do David’s words to Saul teach you about how to forgive one who is unjustly harming us?
