Read through the Bible, Day 86

In 1 Samuel 21–23, David flees from Saul, while Saul grows increasingly violent and paranoid. Despite being pursued, David spares Saul’s life. 

Before you begin

Ask the Lord to give you a fresh sense of wonder as you read His Word. Pray for understanding and for an open, humble, obedient heart to receive what He wants to say to you.

"O Lord, may I love those You bring into my life as Jonathan loved David—as You have extended covenant love to me. Show me how to minister grace to those who are discouraged and disheartened—to strengthen them in their faith and encourage them in You. Amen." —Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth1
