Rather than take matters into his own hands, David was convinced that he could trust God to deliver him. And God did! Pastor Brian Brodersen, in his Thru the Bible study in 1 Samuel 23-27, encourages us that as we follow the example of David, we can ask the Lord for things and expect God to hear and answer. And even if God tells us that bad things will happen, He assures us that He is still with us.
