Pastor David Hoffman-Fear of the Lord

David Understood Authority King David understood spiritual authority better than most in the Bible. The Lord called David a man “after My own heart.” David respected authority when he knew that authority came from God. In 1 Samuel 24, Saul was chasing David with 3000 of his choicest men. They intended to kill him. Samuel had already anointed David as king, so David and his followers knew it was only a matter of time. Yet, at the moment, David and his men were hiding in a cave to escape Saul and his 3000 men. Here, God was testing David. At the cave, Saul goes in to relieve himself, not knowing David and his men are in the cave. At that moment, Saul is in a very vulnerable position. David’s men encouraged him to “kill him and you’ll be king.” David refused, essentially saying, “Far be it for me to do this thing against the Lord’s anointed.” David persuaded his men not to rise up against Saul.
