Sunday Morning Series - Give God Something To Work With - Go and See

Text:  I Samuel 22:1-23:13

Sometimes people are failing at life, but they're not really failing. They're just not hitting it in the right way.

In this passage, David is fleeing from Saul and escapes to the cave of Adullum. His brothers and all his father's house join him. He also drew men who were:

- Distressed
- In Debt
- Discontented

Sometimes God sends people into our lives, and we don't see the value of them. What possible good could these individuals be to David?

He hears about the Philistines attacking Keilah, and asks the Lord if he should go and save them. The Lord gives him the go-ahead, but the 400 men are afraid. He inquires of the Lord again and gets the same response. The men trust him, so they agree. They save Keilah from the Philistines, a job King Saul should have been doing instead of chasing David.

It is a poor king, who makes decisions to benefit himself rather than his country. Saul turned his sword on his own people. He doesn't care that David did something great for him.

Application: What has come to you or is around you that you have seen as having no value?

There are some things God has given us in the way of talents and connections that are dormant in our lives. We either don't recognize them or discount them. Always pay attention to the ideas that come to you, especially the ones that come during the night.
