Questions to think about as you read (page 478 at back of book)
- Why was David chosen to be the next king of Israel?
- What obstacles did David face to become the king he was anointed to be?
- How was David able to face a giant when so many others gave way to fear?
- Why did David spare Saul when he had the chance to be free of Saul’s attempts to kill him? What would you have done?
- David had a single goal (that the God of Israel would be glorified) because he has a single love (the God of Israel). What can you do to cultivate a heart like David’s?
